Good luck keeping control with your pregnancy - I know you know how important it is for you and the baby - from what I've read your insulin needs can increase really rapidly while pregnant. I know it's not fun when your blood sugar is crazy, and you have no idea why! Not sure if you are familiar with this website, but I like to browse it sometimes: www.diabetesdaily.com There is a type 1, as well as a section for pregnant mothers.
I've had it for about 16 years. My sugar level was 500 when I first was diagnosed. They told me I was technically in a diabetic coma although I was awake and alert.
My sugar levels have be tightly controlled until recently with my pregnancy. I have no other diabetic related problems.
