Filed in archive Information by Rhys on December 26, 2006

A woman recently wrote to an expert in diabetes, concerned that because of her recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, she would 'pass on' the disease to her child, or have poor health and be unable to care for her baby.

As these are concerns many people have, I thought it would be nice to showcase this letter.

Your body is not 40 years old. Strict control of blood sugar prevents or substantially lowers the risks of diabetes -- early heart disease, kidney failure, impaired vision, nerve disturbances and blood vessel damage.

You can give birth to normal children. A diabetic woman, planning to become pregnant in the near future, needs to inform her doctor so both can keep close tabs on the woman's blood sugar levels.
