Hi Katie, welcome to the forum. I find here so helpful and friendly . Great place to ask all the questions, even those ou may think are a bit silly, they're not and I've usually asked them.🙂

Hi Katie and welcome to 'the club'! I am also looking to having a family, although have just had a pump so been advised to not get pregnant whilst I am stabilising.

Prior to wanting a family, my bloods were always out of range also, my HBA varied between 10-12% in old money. I had to work really closely with the DSN to get my BG's down and to rein in control. Pre pregnancy is somewhere in the 7%-7.5% range. My doc wanted a minimum of 8%, which proves each clinic is different.
Margie has suggested prescription strength folic acid, I am on that also, they prefer you to be on this for 3months or more prior to conception, as well as controlled bloods for a similar time.
Get yourself booked into the pre-conception clinic, they will want to look at your eyes, kidneys etc as a baby strains the organs functions and blood vessels in our 'at risk' areas so I'm sure you'd prefer to be given the all clear than to jeopardise your baby's health and yours!

Anyway, a few ideas there, its a bit hard to gauge how far ahead you are and ready in TTC but feel free to PM me if you want to ask or chat about the preparatory side of this and diabetes!

As I said, welcome to our special 'club'!
