Grit Pregnancies: How to Have a Healthy Pregnancy and Normal Blood Sugars with Type 1 Diabetes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737084303)

For many years, women with type 1 diabetes were told that they shouldn't have babies. With today's technology and innovations, women with T1D can have healthy babies, but they are still considered "high risk". In Grit Pregnancies: How to Have a Healthy Pregnancy and Normal Blood Sugars with Type 1 Diabetes, Allison Herschede explains that it's not diabetes that puts pregnancy at risk, but high blood sugars. She shares how to prevent them, correct them, and minimize hypoglycemia at the same time. Using Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's principles from his book Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, Allison shows the reader how it is indeed possible for type 1 diabetic women to have healthy pregnancies and truly normal blood sugars.
