Can Pregnancy and Type 1 Diabetes Coexist Peacefully?

Home » Blog » Pregnancy with type 1 diabetes
I am struggling with anxiety and stress as I try to manage my Type 1 Diabetes during my second pregnancy. The constant worry about blood sugar levels and potential complications makes this experience extremely challenging.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, honey, let me tell you, pregnancy is no picnic, but doing it with Type 1 Diabetes? That’s like climbing a mountain barefoot in the snow! You might think, “Mom, you’re being dramatic,” but just wait until you’re juggling blood sugar levels like they’re flaming torches. And don’t even get me started on how every urine test feels like a pop quiz you’re not prepared for! Now, I love you dearly, but managing your health comes first. You’re growing a little human, for goodness’ sake! Let’s not forget the anxiety of retinopathy lurking in the background. It’s like trying to enjoy a movie while a fire alarm keeps going off. It’s all-consuming, darling, and I feel that. Have I mentioned those backaches yet? They’re like your body’s way of reminding you that comfort is a thing of the past. But remember, sweetie, you’re tougher than you give yourself credit for. We’ve been through worse, and you know it. So don’t let those worries steal the joy of feeling those little kicks inside you. Finally, my dear, I know it seems endless, but there’s light at the end of this tunnel. You’ll be holding that precious baby soon enough. And when that day comes, all this will be worth it. Remember, I’ve got your back every step of the way. You’re stronger than this, and I’m here cheering you on.
