Deborah E shares the challenges she faced during the first high-risk pregnancy as a type 1 diabetic. She recounts her interactions with her highly-skilled and highly-intelligent perinatologist who had some strange ideas about abilities to control insulin once it enters the body, leading to a ban on self-administration.

Deborah also reveals the lengths she went to attend a family event, where she and her husband were to be honored, and the dangerously low blood sugar episode that the hospital was sure meant a trip to the morgue.

Join us as we unfold the unique trials and triumphs of managing diabetes during another pregnancy in this compelling episode of DiabeticReal.
