Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 10:24 PMThe shock will wear off....life will get easier!! I promise. I was diagnosed 2 and a half years ago, just after I got married. My husband and I had been trying for a few months to get pregnant, then I was diagnosed. We were told I had to wait until my A1C was under 7 to get pregnant. I had a lot of trouble getting my A1C to where I felt comfortable so I decided to go on the pump before getting pregnant. I've been on the pump for just a few weeks and already my A1C is down to 6.8 and getting better DAILY!!!! I'm looking forward to pregancy and our first child. You have two already so will know what to expect - you will have great healthcare if you choose to have another....Diabetes doesn't mean you can't have another!!!!

That's a lot ot have going on all at once. You will need to get your sugar levels under control and your a1c down to a healthy range and then having children is possible. Talk with Kelsey Bonilla about it, she's a blogger on this site too and started blogging during her pregnancy.
A great book to help get a grip on your own is Think Like a Pancreas by Gary Scheiner. Gary is a type one diabetic and also a CDE, certified diabetic educator, out of Philadelphia. The book is not long, but he has lots of fabulous tips for learning how to manage your diabetes!
The ovrwhelm is big in the beginning, but as you learn to manage this you'll find life has changed very little for you.
