Libby - have you requested pre-conception help at your diabetes clinic? - cos it's available! Don't just feel you need to wait until whenever you see them nest - ring up and ASK !

Plus lots of the meter companies actually do advice leaflets for pre-conception and pregnancy - look on Accu-Chek and Bayer's websites cos they are two who definitely do. There's load of things here to have a look at too - https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Settings/Search/?q=pre conception advice

Hope some of it helps!
 
Well to the group.

What are your levels generally like?
 
Anything from 4-12
Sorry what I meant is sometimes people can notice patterns in your levels that you can't.
So if you have a certain point you get too high or low and can work out the problem you can work on improving that little bit of it and that will help overall.
