Is it widely the norm to have a healthy pregnancy/healthy baby if you have had type 1 diabetes since childhood? What are the biggest risks? What should be the biggest focus to maintain a healthy pregnancy/baby?
Looking for opinions, suggestions, personal stories, resources like websites. I've already been doing some reading and have gone to my endocrinologist with this question.
I am 32 years old, have had type 1 since I was 12 years old. Over the years I have had better and worse control as life goes/ had a few years of VERY bad control in my late 20s. The past two years I have been focusing largely on health... Now have an a1c typically around 7.0 (working on getting that lower), healthy weight, routine check ups.
I've been working on developing a very healthy lifestyle, from what I eat to how I exercise- doing triathlons, rarely drink any alcohol, don't smoke, etc. No other big health problems.
Thank you for any support.
