I have type 1 diabetes since childhood and now planning a baby. Bit worried how it will affect the pregnancy and baby. Anyone here gone through this? Would love to hear ur experience.
Yes, it definitely needs careful monitoring, but with modern trackers and insulin pumps, it's highly manageable. I tracked my blood sugar on an app daily. Please work closely with your endocrinologist and gynac to plan your readings.
I'm also navigating this right now! It's a lot of monitoring and daily finger pricks, but my doctor says as long as HbA1c is in control, baby will be fine. How are your sugar levels looking currently?
Type 1 diabetes can increase risks if sugars aren't controlled, so please be extremely cautious. Seek guidance from a specialist even before conceiving if possible. Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy, do take care.
It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed when thinking about managing type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. Please don't panic, many women have perfectly healthy babies. Just stay in constant touch with your doctors to keep your levels stable.
My cousin has type 1 diabetes and had a beautiful, healthy baby girl last year. She had to adjust her insulin doses very frequently under her doctor's strict guidance. Please discuss a proper management plan with your medical team.
