In this episode, I chat with Anna Sabino, CDCES and 35-year veteran with T1D, who shares her experience of managing type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. She discusses the challenges she faced after the loss of her first pregnancy at 20 weeks. Anna emphasizes the importance of assembling a supportive healthcare team and advocating for oneself throughout the pregnancy journey. She also highlights the need for self-care and giving oneself grace during this challenging time. Anna's story serves as a source of inspiration and encouragement for others considering a diabetic pregnancy.
