pregnant with high HBA1C

[pinkemz]

Hi im just wondering did anyone fall pregnant with a high hba1c above 8%. If so what has your experience been like? (I am not pregnant just want to know your experiences)
Thank you in advance

yeah, that would be me.... I wouldnt advise it, and also i hadnt planned my pregnancy so was not on folic acid either!! think a month before i found out my hba1c was 8.2% 😱 The not knowing affected me so much thru the pregnancy that I didnt really get a chance to enjoy it! was so so stressful!

If i were to do it again id wait til it was 6% 🙄

When I fell pregnant (unplanned) my last HbA1c was 8.2% and then it was 7.8%. I'm now 25+4 and my HbA1c is 6.1%. Been getting checkups regularly and everything is perfect. I think it's 'ideal' if your HbA1c is around 6.5% when you concieve but lets face it, very few of us are fortunate enough to be textbook diabetics. I know that I certainly amn't.

My HBa1C was high and now it's at 7.8% whereas a few months ago it was around the 6% mark

Hoping it'll come down further at my next blood test
