Kerri Sparling does a nice job talking about her pregnancy and handling diabetes at the same time.
Enjoy this time, don’t stress out too much-just keep in mind you have a little bit more to manage.
Another great book: Balancing Pregnancy with Pre-Existing Diabetes: Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby by Cheryl Alkon
Congratulations!!
