I just started using this website. I have had type since I was 7. I am now 28. I went to a diabetes camp from the year after I got diabetes until I was 17. I feel having people around that understand diabetes (type 1) help me. One of the reson for starting using this website is becouse I want to have kids soon and i am scared out of my mind. I am on the pump so this will help control my blood surgers but I am still scared out of my mind. My Husban is not a diabetice but he is very supportful.
Hi, Stephanie. Glad to see you on here. We're about the same age and have had D for about the same amount of time. There are lots of women on here who have D and have successfully started families. I also recommend visiting www.sixuntilme.com. The women who runs the website is a type 1 who documented her experiences as living with D and pregnancy. She is a great patient advocate and wonderful person in real life.
