I really, really don't want to be induced, but my midwife wants me to at 38 or 39 weeks- doesn't even want to consider letting me go to 40. If the baby's fine and not too big, I don't see why not. I'd love to hear your birth story, especially about whether or not you were induced...

Hey, everybody! I'm Katherine, diagnosed with diabetes in February/ March, and due to delivery my first baby January 31st. When I was diagnosed, my A1C was like 11.5. Now, last month's A1C check was 5.9! :D I had a great OB and midwife who left my diabetes care to my equally wonderful endocrinologist...

About a week ago my endo gave me Apidra to try and I don't know if it was that, or possibly pregnancy, but my post meal and pre breakfast/post wake up numbers have been over 200, and sometimes climbing. I switched back to my trusty novolog this morning, wound up with one low, changed my target blood...

Hi. I just found out I am pregnant (planned) & I love to exercise. I am 29 years old & only 4 weeks along. I love to run 5-7 miles every other day & am having an AWFUL time controlling my blood sugar. Has anyone else had this problem?? I am trying to see a gyno specialist in type 1 but cannot...

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and still struggling with the willpower to control what I eat, especially in the afternoons when I'm home by myself a lot. I'm trying to really take my condition more seriously, test all 7 times per day, watch what I eat, and record every blood sugar, but it's hard...

Hi all, I've reading for a few weeks now and wondering, do all of us t1's have to have c-sections or be induced, or have there actually been some natural births? I know they induce and do the c-sections for certain complications (pre-eclampsia), but do they just do it as well because we're...

Hey ladies, My husband and I have been TTC on and off for the last 6 months (I say on an off because we only really started charting my ovulation avidly in March) with no results. I'm a very anxious person and I drink about one diet coke a day (12 ounces at most). We've had my hormonal levels...

Hello. I am 27 weeks pregnant with T1. I have been noticing that my little girl kicks when my sugars are high for the past 1-2 months now. She also drops to the lowest part of my uterus when my sugars are low. When my little one was 5-5 1/2 months, she would kick very quickly when my sugars were high...

Hello! My name is Vicky and I have been a T1 for almost 23 years. I am 17 weeks pregnant with our 3rd little miracle, due in Sept. We have a 5 year old boy and a 17 month old boy, both VERY HEALTHY and beautiful little angels! I am on the Minimed REVEL insuling pump with Humalog (humilin). I have used...
