Hello,

Yes ! Diabetic patients can conceive and the not necessarily the child will always be diabetic !
But certainly, you should achieve very good control over BSL . Set target HbA1c 6 .

If Sugars are not control, there are lot many stories revolving around liquor of mother and risk of complications. I would like to suggest you to consult a dietician as well diabetologist followed by Gync. for better outcomes.

130 fasting is way to high to plan pregnancy. Shift to Insulin (you will have to do it in pregnancy anyways. Better do it beforehand). Get your hba1c down. Then plan the pregnancy. Keep the sugars in check throughout the pregnancy.
