I got my first minimed pump 22 years ago when I was pg with our 1st DD, she's going to college in England right now. Our 2nd DD is graduating from highschool in May. Neither one is diabetic and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've been diabetic for 41 years and never thought I would have children, but my DH said it was the most important thing to him and it became the best thing I ever did for myself. When we saw my endo about this she said that even with diabetes on my DH's side of the family too, our rish was only 7%, DH insisted the odds were too good on our side not to try. I'm kind of surprised diabetics would still be told not to have children, there must be lots of success stories out there. Take good care of yourselves and it can be a happy outcome. |
