I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

The only risk in pregnancy with diabetes is the growth and size of the baby-- midwives do pay special attention to you when you are diabetic and women do have pregnancy induced diabetes which fortunately goes away once baby is born..
You will get lots of support with medication etc. The best thing u can do is visit your gp-- he will advise on wether it is favourable for you to get pregnant or not-- i don't know about your weight but that will be another factor too. he should put you right

Listen, I don't have much experience of this disease, but pregnancy can have an effect on it. Nobody on these boards are qualified to tell you properly.
Consult your doctor who will explain the risks and what pregnancy will mean for someone with your condition. My friend is diabetic and has had 3 children, so I don't think its impossible.
Talk to your doctor or a qualified health professional who can advise you better before you do anything else.
Good luck!

Hi. I think you know the answer already. If you are controlling your diabetes and aware of the risks then you are capable of making an informed decision. Yes there are risks, but you know about them in advance. Many pregnancies can contain 'hidden' risks but you've got the heads up. Discuss it with your doctor first, but go for it if you really want to.

My mum is a diabetic and I don't have diabetes. She had a pretty easy pregnancy, but had a lot of close contact with her doctor.
Like other people have said, discuss your options with your doctor.
My mum had to reduce her insulin dosage, but that was almost 25 years ago. I'm sure it's much easier now to make sure mum and baby are healthy.
Don't let your diabetes hold you back from having a family, but make sure you're well informed.
Good luck!

Science and medicine is getting better daily and as long as you monitor your vitals and take REALLY good care of your self with eating and all that I think you would come out just fine. I don't know that much about complications that can occurr, but I have worked in group homes with people that are diabetic, and if they stuck to ALL natural things, and kept on their meds they were usually fine, or just slightly up. I will keep you in my prayers, I think that if you trust God through it all he will bring you through with a beautiful baby!

There's loads of information out there, try the DoH website (www.dh.gov.uk) - I work in a doctors surgery and as long as you are aware of the implications, there's really nothing to worry about! Your practice nurse or Diabetic specialist GP will be able to advise you :-)

Many diabetics have successfully delivered. You need to get a physician who specializes in this field. you should be okay if you follow that advice. Take good care of yourself and keep your diabetes under control.

there are a lot of women you are diabetic and pregnant and have healthy babies. there are risks for everything, even if you are not diabetic. i would say just keep going to your doctor while your pregnant so that he can monitor you and guide you through. good luck!
