Your HbA1c of 7.4% is higher than the ideal target for planning pregnancy. For women with diabetes, it is safest to aim for an HbA1c below 6.5% before conception to reduce the risk of miscarriage, birth defects, and other complications. Next Steps: ✔️ Work with your doctor to adjust your diet, exercise, and medication if needed to bring sugars under better control. ✔️ Do regular blood sugar monitoring. ✔️ Take folic acid daily (at least 400–800 mcg). ✔️ Get your eyes, kidneys, and thyroid checked before planning. ✔️ Discuss a safe pregnancy plan with your endocrinologist/diabetologist. Helpful Tip: Planning ahead for good sugar control before and during pregnancy helps you and your baby stay healthy. Don’t worry — with good care, you can have a safe pregnancy.
