I am fully aware that my diabetes and pregnancy will not prove too
*difficult* I am well controlled.  But I am very concerned about the effect of
severe ITP treated with steroids, surgery, chemo and IVIG (currently, and bliss
fully in remission for the past year) I have searched both NIH, and medline for
outcomes both maternal and fetal on a patient similar to myself and recieved a
null search.  I am highly educated on both conditions but I am fearful of the
possible risks, could anyone out there provide hard evidence of success, it
would really ease my mind.  Also, my A1c have never been above 6.8, no evidence of complications, 11 years post IDDM dx, platelets have in the past been as
 low as 1,000.  Referal to good resource would also be appreciated.
Thanks
