Hey, I don't think you should worry too much - at least try it and see. I've been Type 1 for 6 years, and on the pill for about a year and a half (Levlen ED - monophasic, basic PBS listed prescribed pill for all Aussie non-smokers) and though I was worried about it raising my sugars, nothing significant happened. They were elevated after I started it for other reasons, I asked my endo and he said the pill's effect on my BS would be negligible and that it wouldn't be causing significant elevation - sugars subsequently went back to normal after I got back to a normal diet. My most recent HBA1c was 6.7 I think the fact is that it's one of those relatively unlikely 'possibles' that doctors must warn everyone about for legal reasons, and in reality it's not so drastic. Suck it and see. Good luck! xx
