Meet T1D Momma, Lyora
When I was 35 I went to Kaiser for my usual endo visit. I decided to ask about motherhood as I was getting to the point that I knew I had to make some decisions. The nurse practitioner told me I shouldn’t have kids because of my age and my A1c being too high. I was devastated, all I had wanted my whole life was to be a wife and mother.

Meet T1D Momma, Kelly S.
Hi! So, I love being part of this group. It is amazing to be able to connect with other T1D women in a similar age group who are dealing with similar issues. I LOVE reading the posts about new little ones coming into this world born to T1 moms! At the same time, as I read these posts with happy outcomes, selfishly it also makes me a little sad that I will most likely not be able to have another baby. I also wonder if there are other T1 mommas out there that are having the same feelings. I am pretty sure there are, so I thought it might be helpful to share my journey, which has been quite the roller coaster dealing with infertility AND having T1.
