It's been a very long time since I've posted on here!
Oh my gosh, my last post was in 2019!!!
A few updates:
I ended up dating this really great guy and marrying him in 2021. How does he handle my diabetes? He gets me snacks in the middle of the night if I have a low or brings me water when my blood sugar is high. He worries about me, but he lets me take care of myself.
I've interned at a hospital library and worked in a public library and worked at an elementary school.
And I've had two babies and I'm currently pregnant with my third.
Pregnancy with T1D is hard, but it sounds like, from the people I've talked to who have had babies, it's no harder than pregnancy without diabetes. Having toddlers and managing your diabetes is the hardest part!
I'll have to post about my pregnancy experiences at some point. For now, I just want to make sure people know this fact: T1D does not determine whether you have healthy kids or not. I was not and have not had perfect numbers all the time during any of my pregnancies, but my first two (and hopefully this third child) have all been perfectly healthy. Our bodies may not function properly, but they can still do great things.
Hoping to talk to you all again real soon.
