Type 1 Diabetics and sweet things?

[Mysticalrain]

Hey Type 1 Diabetic here. how many of you ate sweet things during pregnancy and your baby was perfectly healthy. im craving sweet things and have something sweet everyday more or less. mostly when I hypo tho. I feel so unhealthy at the minute. any advice really stuggling. my last hb1c was 6.3. iv had a couple of highs since then but this is due to being ill with the flu. thanks in advance xxxx

I'm type 2. When I was pregnant I was fairly well controlled until the last month (Christmas...) and Flynn grew a huge amount in that time and ended up being 9lb 2oz at 38+1.

As long as you eat in moderation and keep your sugars under control a little sweet stuff won't hurt xx
