Meet T1D Momma, Saira P.
I never truly gave my diabetes the attention it deserved until I was planning for my first pregnancy. I gave birth to big babies and the nurses blamed my blood sugar control, but that was far from the truth

Meet T1D Momma, Ashley V.
When you are a woman married to another woman, both of whom desire to carry a baby, the choice seems obvious. One wife can carry the first baby and the other can carry the next...easy right? But what if both wives are considered high risk? This was our dilemma, and here is our journey toward growing our family.

Being diagnosed as an adult with Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimoto’s Thyroid Disease and PCOS I didn’t see having my own children as a possibility, but dreams can come true!

My name is Kim and I’m 27 years old from Frederick, MD. I’ve had type 1 diabetes since I was 13 and my husband and I are expecting our first baby (a boy!) in November. I’m currently 27 weeks along. T1D has never stopped me from doing anything in life- especially from wanting a baby!

Meet T1D Momma, Kacy B.
I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 11 years old— about 15 years ago. When I was diagnosed, the medical staff told my parents I should never have kids because of the risk involved — thank goodness we now know with good control and a healthy lifestyle, it is absolutely possible to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy babies with T1D.
Meet T1D Momma, Chrystal O.
Growing up I never thought I was going to have children of my own. My Endocrinologist would say do not get pregnant at this time. I was diagnosed at age 2 years old and now have been living 33 years with type 1 diabetes. Joining the Type 1 Diabetic Sugar Mommas group has been the perfect support, inspiration, and sense of unity I needed as a woman.
Meet T1D Momma, Leyna C.
I’m a mother to an adorable 7 year old, who keeps me busy with dance recitals, school activities, homework, and weekends running around! I’m thankful to be on a pump that does quite a bit of thinking for me as it can be easy to forget about my diabetes when it comes to motherhood, working, and living our lives.
Meet T1D Momma, Orietta K.
I was supposed to call the hospital on the day I was 38 weeks pregnant, to schedule my induction. Depending on how I was feeling, and on how busy the hospital was, I was going to be induced that Tuesday or one of the next two days.
Meet T1D Momma, Stephanie R.
I am lucky to be the first member of The T1D Sugar Mommas. This group is my second family. I was diagnosed at age 6, and grew up in Southern California with a sister who is also T1D. I am a High School Educator in San Jose, California and balance supporting teachers utilizing Educational Technology with being a wife and mom to three children.
Meet T1D Momma, Lyora
When I was 35 I went to Kaiser for my usual endo visit. I decided to ask about motherhood as I was getting to the point that I knew I had to make some decisions. The nurse practitioner told me I shouldn’t have kids because of my age and my A1c being too high. I was devastated, all I had wanted my whole life was to be a wife and mother.
Meet T1D Momma, Michelle H.
I have three kids: TJ, Zane and Diabetes. Sometimes I’m not sure which one needs more attention. Sometimes I just want to hide from all three (you know, like at the salon getting a manicure). Diabetes is relentless, just like children, you need to make it a priority and nourish it with tender loving care.
Meet T1D Momma, Falyn S.
My name is Falyn Shilts. I live in Jacksonville, FL. I have lived with T1D for 23 years and I am a mom to 4 healthy and beautiful children. I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes when I was 14 years old.
Meet T1D Momma, Emily
My name is Emily Lincoln and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes right after my oldest son turned one. I was 28. I now have two sons who are four and two. Being a type 1 and mom of two boys is rewarding and challenging at the same time. Boys are constantly on the go and that can take your mind off keeping an eye on your blood sugar levels.
Meet T1D Momma, Kelly S.
Hi! So, I love being part of this group. It is amazing to be able to connect with other T1D women in a similar age group who are dealing with similar issues. I LOVE reading the posts about new little ones coming into this world born to T1 moms! At the same time, as I read these posts with happy outcomes, selfishly it also makes me a little sad that I will most likely not be able to have another baby. I also wonder if there are other T1 mommas out there that are having the same feelings. I am pretty sure there are, so I thought it might be helpful to share my journey, which has been quite the roller coaster dealing with infertility AND having T1.
