I lost my sex drive, around the time I was about to deliver my daughter, she is now 21 months. I've had some people tell me I've lost intrest in my husband but it's not him, it's sex in general. When I went in to my six week check up after I had her my doctor told I should go back to normal after 6 months and I didn't. Due to no health insurance I haven't been able to go back to the doctor. I also have type one diabetes, could that play apart in my lacking drive? Is this normal for another wise healthy 20 y/o woman? Is there anything I can do? Or is this nothing to worry about??

I also forgot to mention that before I had my daughter I was on BC for six year and I haven't taken it since could this be another factor?

If you are taking medication for the diabetes, they could inhibit your sex drive. But overall, you are going to have to work at it. Sex begins in the mind. If you are now seeing yourself as a mom instead of a sexy wife, you can easily lose interest.
Try leaving the baby with a sitter. Have wine and do things that you used to do before you got pregnant. Spend some time talking to and just being held by your husband. Mentally you have to learn that you can be a wife and mom. The two are not exclusive of each other.
Have a good time getting back into the swing.

My daughter is 15 months and I have the same prob. I was on the depo shot, and that can kill your sex drive .Are you really stressed out or anything?? that could be why

Yes, it has to do with diabetes...and neuropathy
It had to do with the pregnancy until the 6th month after delivery.
Go to a gynecologist.
