Hi Johnna again. Sorry I mispelled your name earlier.  I am 32 and have been diabetic since I was 9 so 23 years now. Wow, that's a long time.  the pump is great. I have not had an A1c higher than 6.5 since I've been on it.  I'm sure you will see great results too if you follow the rules and use it as directed.  Yes, having a good A1c when conceiving and during the first trimester is the most important so please be sure to be in really good control at that time.  You can definitely keep me posted on your story.  I am definitely interested. I know there's a lot of times you want to talk about it and it's hard to communicate with those who aren't diabetic because they don't have that understanding.  There's also another board I frequented while pregnant but it really was mostly gestational diabetics but a few type 1 and 2's too. It's a site called Baby Center and there is a board in there for Pregnant with Diabetes.  You might want to check it out too.  Good luck.
