This DiabeticReal episode is all about Deborah E's decision of whether to choose herself and her little girl dream of being “normal” or the possible dream of her unborn child. She knows what she wants, but what about her son?

From her struggles with the medical team to the heart-wrenching decision of whether to break her baby's collarbone for delivery, she takes us on a roller-coaster of emotions during the 36 hours of labor.

Despite the hardships, she highlights the power of resilience and the unexpected joy that comes with making sacrifices for the ones we love. Tune in to this raw and honest episode that sheds light on the complexities of life with diabetes and the strength found in facing challenges head-on instead of hiding.
