Thanks for the informative video. I have realized I need to get back to basics for my preconception planning. Diagnosed DMII JAn 2008, since then AIC is 5.3 and daily glucose 100mg/dL. Have lost 50 lbs and want to do 20 lbs more before conception. Need to get back to my daily checks on mg/dL. Thanks for the positive outlook at pregnancy in my condition. Before I thought it was impossible. Thanks for the brighter side of things!!!1

This was very informative - I'm glad this was posted. I have type II diabetes and want to get pregnant. I'm glad to learn that my a1c is normal and I'm heading in the right direction. I will continue to get tight control of my sugars.
