Hello

I am 38 yrs old and have had T1 diabetes for over 30 yrs. my first pregnancy was last year and it was unplanned. It had high BG readings for the first 5 weeks (before learning I was pregnant) and ended up giving birth (stillbirth) at 23 weeks. It seems my placenta only grew to about 10 weeks and my baby (boy) only grew to about 15 weeks. This was devastating and I tried really hard to get my HBA1C under control. With the help of a CGM, I was able to bring it down to 6.2 but my sugars can still be up and down sometimes. I am now 15 weeks pregnant in my second pregnancy and was told yesterday that my blood test is showing markers which may indicate placental insufficiency. I've been crying for two days and I'm hoping that someone here has had experience with this and still had a positive outcome. Thank you everyone for your help.
