For type 1 diabetes is it possible for you to still have kids?

Yes, with help: With the help of your OB and diabetes team you can have a healthy pregnancy and baby.There are significant risks to both, and these depend to some degree on your basic health and diabetes control and ability to maintain control during pregnancy.Discuss the issue with your local sources of care.Your OB may want to bring a perinatal specialist into the process.

Sure: Sure no problem. Close followup with your endocrinologist and also tight control of blood sugars are recommended for the baby to be in optimal health. A CGM will help to catch blood sugar trends and titrate insulin more closely, as well as avoid low blood sugars.
