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.
Meet T1D Momma, Chelsea B.
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!
Meet T1D Momma, Kaeli G.
My name is Kaeli and when I found out I was expecting whilie living with diabetes I was scared, but hopefully. And then I was diagnosed at 6 months pregnant with Covid.
Meet T1D Momma, Kim M.
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.
