Meet T1D Momma, Kim M.

T1D has never stopped me from doing anything in life- especially from wanting a baby!

My name is Kim and I’m 27 years old from Frederick, MD. I’ve had type 1 diabetes since I was 13 and my husband and I are expecting our first baby (a boy!) in November! I’m currently 27 weeks along. T1D has never stopped me from doing anything in life- especially from wanting a baby! 

I’ve always had an a1c of 7% growing up, but now I’m down to 5.1% and feeling great!

I take long walks everyday and count carbs like no ones business, which helps to keep my blood sugars down. I currently wear a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) and take multiple daily injections (MDI). Pregnancy and T1D has its challenges, but I try to take things day by day. Not everyday is going to be perfect, but having a positive attitude goes a long way.

I’m very thankful for my supportive husband, my family and friends that have made this entire experience so exciting! Can’t wait to connect with other T1D mommas!
