Pregnancy & Type 1 Diabetes: What Every Woman Should Know

Send us Fan Mail What’s it really like to manage diabetes during pregnancy? We talked with Dr. Camille E. Powe, a leading expert who helps women navigate this tough but powerful journey. She shared how diabetes care has changed, why insulin resistance is a normal part of pregnancy, and how tools like continuous glucose monitors can make a huge difference. We also talked about the emotional side—what it’s like to balance stress, blood sugars, and the pressure to “do everything right.” Dr. Powe reminds us that pregnancy isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress and support. Here’s what we learned: - Diabetes care in pregnancy keeps improving. - Insulin resistance is a normal part of pregnancy. - CGMs can make a big difference. - Having a supportive care team matters. - Self-advocacy helps you get the care you deserve. - No one should feel guilty about their blood sugars.
