Pregnancy with T1D: What to Expect

Thinking of having a baby but not sure what to expect? You're not alone. Diabetic mums can have gorgeous, cuddly, perfectly healthy babies. But, as with many things in life, diabetes adds a whole lot of complexity to the process. 

Dr Cally Brits is a medical doctor and type one diabetic who recently gave birth to a healthy little boy. Tracy and Cait quiz her on the whole experience from pee stick to Pampers, including her fears and frustrations, how breastfeeding impacts blood glucose, and where the heck she kept her pump during childbirth.
