Whit. Welcome to the thread, i've not had the heart check yet but i've read alot of ladies with diabetes have it done just to be on the safe side, maybe since i'm early on i haven't been offered it but they might mention it further along. Don't worry about going on insulin, its actually the safest med for diabetes in pregnancy, just be wary of having hypos and always keep a sugary drink on you at all times, i wasn't aware of hypos when i was diagnosed and it hit me hard and fast lol. You will be fine don't worry x
kcmichelle how far along are you? how did your insulin requirements chance since becoming pregnant? I went from 2units per meal to 4 units per meal, i'm dreading insulin resistance kicking in i was on 20 units last time round and was always hypo, my first baby was 8lb 6oz and my second baby was 7lb 1oz (well controlled in second pregnancy) neither had sugar issues at birth so i consider us lucky for that. xx
