For all the type 1 diabetic mommies: was it difficult to be pregnant as a diabetic? Did anything go wrong?

I've been a type 1 diabetic all my life. My A1C is 7,5%, I can't make it go down... But I'm working hard on it! Now I'm 28 and now me and my hubby really want to start having babies. I'd like to hear other women's stories because I'm still very scared of what can happen, because all I hear is that it's very difficult. Any suggestions?
