During pregnancy your blood sugar needs to be very well controlled.  This is critical for a helathy baby.

Also the thyroid levels must be closely monitored and adjusted.

If both are managed you can have a normal healthy preganncy.  I have both and had a healthy full term daughter 2 years ago.  Trying now for second baby, with same condition.

So long as your OB-GYN is aware of these things, you should be okay.  Talk to him/her and put your mind at ease.  Take care.
