Planning a pregnancy with Type 1 diabetes (T1D)? Learn why achieving excellent blood sugar control (target 5-7 mmol/L) before conception is absolutely critical to minimise risks like fetal malformations and macrosomia. We discuss essential pre-pregnancy health checks, tests (including HbA1c, kidney, and eye checks), and starting folic acid (0.5-1 mg daily). Getting specialist medical care from a diabetic physician and an obstetrician is key. Understand potential complications and plan for delivery, often around 38 weeks.
