In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr Partha Kar for a refreshingly honest chat about Type 1 diabetes and the journey to motherhood, minus the fear, fluff, and scary Google searches.We talk about why now is actually one of the best times to think about pregnancy with Type 1 diabetes, how technology has changed the game, what really happens in pregnancy clinics, and why you’re never meant to do this alone. From pumps and closed loops to birth plans and a few “oh wow, that makes sense” moments.

This episode is for anyone with Type 1 diabetes thinking about having a baby, already on the journey, or just needing a calm, confidence-boosting reminder that motherhood is possible and you deserve the very best care while you get there.
