Hello! 32 year old female from Midwest USA. Been in DKA twice despite controlled sugars which led to an accurate diagnosis of type 1/1.5 when I was 31. Most recent A1c of 6.8. Am only recently coming out of survival mode to face what needs to happen next in my life. Have been on CGM pump for almost a year and it has changed our life. Currently, my husband and I desperately want to have a baby, but are up against some significant risks (as many are) with very top end insulin resistance. Attempting to conquer the fear of years of failed weight loss attempts so that hopefully one day soon, it will balance the risk of getting pregnant. This is the first community I’ve ever joined about diabetes, so I hope to make some connections and learn some things!
