Life update: I'm pregnant! This episode has been a year in the making. I wanted to create a resource where I could take you through every part of the TTC and diabetes pregnancy journey while living with type 1 diabetes. So since 6 months before our TTC journey, I started recording this podcast to take you through my thoughts, appointments, and preparation with my management. This is a topic that no one openly talks about, so let's dive in!
