Hi fifi, hopefully one or two of our mums will spot this soon 🙂 If you have a browse through this section you'll find that quite a few lovely healthy babies have been born to forum members over the past couple of years! 🙂
 
Welcome Fifi. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but good to hear about your pregnancy and it sounds like you're getting decent levels of support from your team.

What would you like to know?

Hi Fifi, I have a baby boy who is now 9 months old. Feel free to ask me anything you want. It is hard work being a diabetic mum to be, but more than worth the effort.

How are you being treated, are you on insulin?
