What is pregnancy like when you live with diabetes?

This is a topic I know NOTHING about… nor will I ever. So, I decided to reach out to my diabuddy Grace who was happy to share her experiences about motherhood and diabetes. She also loves to be active and offers a wealth of relatable information for t1d moms-to-be.

Grace answered some of my deepest questions about motherhood and diabetes including:

Did you always know you wanted to be a mother?
After realizing that you were going to be a mom, was your diabetes a concern?
- Did you have any fear of complications for you or the baby during the pregnancy?
Did your blood sugar management change after becoming pregnant? What did you notice?
- What were your postpartum blood sugars like? Did you notice any differences?
What steps did you take to ensure a smooth pregnancy and diabetes?
Is there anything that made your birth story unique?
What is the one word you would use to describe pregnancy with type 1 diabetes?
What aspect of your diabetes management helped you the most in your pregnancy?
If you could share 3 tips to women with T1D who would like to become moms, what would they be?
