Managing Type 1 Diabetes is no small feat, but throw pregnancy into the mix, and it’s a whole new level of juggling! When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I’d need to step up my game with blood sugar tracking and insulin adjustments. Let me tell you, working closely with my doctor and a dietitian has been such a lifesaver. I’ve been focusing on a balanced diet (more veggies and whole grains, less processed stuff) and finding pregnancy-safe exercises like walking and prenatal yoga to keep things steady.
I’ve also read how important continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be, especially during pregnancy when hormones mess with insulin sensitivity. I’m thinking about trying one to make blood sugar management a little less stressful. If you’ve been through this or are navigating it now, what’s been your go-to for keeping your blood sugar in check? Would love to hear what’s worked for you!
