[QUOTE="MiriamL-W, post: 2279445, member: 526164"] Hi Beth, My son was born in 2017 and I have been T1D for 26 years. I felt like I was fighting the doctors from day one just as you seem to be. I honestly think that’s because T1D scares them, they only know horror stories and it’s such a complicated condition that they can’t hope to fully grasp it - let’s face it we struggle with in every day. So they try to keep things in their control and sod what you want. That is not right. You will be a mother who’s body and rights are just as valuable as any others. Keep bringing the evidence to them along with your amazing control and make sure they justify why they want to do whatever it is they say they want to do, ‘cause we want to’ is not a reason. If you are healthy and well, there is no reason you can’t do it anyway you like. It sounds like you are seriously well informed and have great support around you. You are going to be great. Although I think you will scare the sh*t out if them [emoji23] Sadly there is very little research out there and it’s not that up to date. Feels as if its worked out through hear say. I stuck to my guns and although had lots of complications (not diabetes related) had a healthy baby with a good weight 7.8 managed my own sugars through labour with the help of my husband and did things on my terms. It is hard but it’s your baby and your body. Stay strong, you totally got this. [/QUOTE]
