Should I get pregnant?

Should I get pregnant?

Hi I would like to ask a question about getting pregnant.  I am a 28 year old type 1 diabetic, had it 24 years and I have severe Retinopathy, for which I have had loads of lazer treatment and my consultant has advised me that I have now had all the lazer I can have done.  I wonder where I stand to get pregnant as I wouldnt risk going blind, does the fact that I have had much lazer mean that no new cells would grow during pregnancy? or that lots more would still grow but I couldnt have any lazer done? My contol is not that good my last hba1c was 9.5, and I do smoke although not a lot.  Has anyone in my situation had a baby?  Or does anyone know the answers?

Thanks
