Type 1 Diabetes and Pregnancy

Having Type 1 Diabetes doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't get pregnant. It does, however, mean that you need to have your blood sugars well-controlled before you get pregnant. If your pregnancy is unplanned, don't stress, just start working with your endocrinologist to get your blood sugars under control. Since Type 1 Diabetes during pregnancy does categorize you as high-risk, you will need to have additional testing and procedures done to ensure the health of you and your baby.
