      Hello, I am 24 years old female. I am in the first trimester of my pregnancy. I have had type-1 diabetes since I was 12 years old. I thought I’ll face difficulty in conceiving but I conceived. I am worried as many women get gestational diabetes during pregnancy as I already have type-1 diabetes what precautions do I need? Please suggest things to make sure during pregnancy if I have type-1 diabetes.

It is very important to monitor the sugar level as that could worsen throughout pregnancy, such as high blood pressure, vision loss, and kidney disease, change your insulin, other things to keep in mind delivery like monitor your blood sugar and insulin, Breastfeeding. Low blood sugar is common in women with type 1 diabetes. Check with your health care team about how much insulin you need and how often you need it. Thank You!
