Balancing a Diabetic Pregnancy with Family

As I prepare my body for a second pregnancy, I'm constantly struck by how different this pregnancy will be from my first.  While pregnant with Sienna, my attention was nearly always focused on my blood sugar.  Other than the regular activities of life, I thought about my blood sugar control...

So glad you wrote about this...I am pregnant with my first child and am so focused on my blood sugars and food. I am lucky that being a teacher, I am not working during the summer so my focus is entirely on the health of my baby.  I won't have to go back in September either as I will be far enough along that I'll be at 4 appt a week so school just won't be a possibilty.  I keep imagining what this will all be like with our second!!! I am unsure how it will all work but if we are blessed with a second child I'll make it all work.  Good luck to you...can't wait to read more!

I just had my second child and as I am a type 1 I understand. Tongue out  I kept pretty tight control and we all survived so it can be done.  I wish they would find a cure but to be honest, I don't think I would keep myself as healthy if they did.

I never thought about the leverage your past experience will give you!  I bet you'll be able to use that experience even more than you might imagine.  Laughing
