Diabetes (Type 1) and Pregnancy?I have recently (within the past 2 months) been diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes - I am 36 yrs old. I am considering pregnancy for which my Endo said he would support, however, I am concerned about the risks. Looking for insight/advise - anyone who has had a pregnancy with Type 1 or knows of someone. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

This is one of the informational handouts we give to our Type 1 diabetic patients....you can have a normal healthy baby as long as you monitor your blood sugars closely and control blood sugars.

As long as you take care of yourself, you will be fine. Keep your blood sugar within its acceptable range, take your insulin on time, and you will have a normal pregnancy. My sister just had twin boys. She has had type 1 for 16 years, since she was 4. She kept her sugars in check, made sure she kept in touch with her doctors, and redid her meal plan to accommodate three. Good Luck!

MY AUNT HAD THIS PROBLEM. SHE HAD TWO CHILDREN. BOTH WERE BORN WITH BRAIN DAMAGE ON THE LEFT SIDE...BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.
