I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 8 years old. I had been sick for awhile before finally getting diagnosed. By the time I was 18 I didn't plan to have kids because my doctor told me that the longterm damages of diabetes could endanger a baby's health. I got pregnant when I was 19 but I was in a very abusive relationship. My son was born perfect and healthy. When i got pregnant again I had a lot of problems with my blood sugar and got put on an insulin pump. I went into labor early and my daughter died. A year later i was pregnant again and my son was born. Fortunately neither of my sons have diabetes or any health problems. I was able to leave an abusive relationship and married the love of my life 3 years ago. Everyday is a struggle but I'm still here. Diabetes is a battle everyday. What works for one diabetic doesnt work for another. I hope a cure can be found soon so i can be free.
