Can you have a safe and healthy pregnancy with Type 1 diabetes? In this episode of The Diabetes Diaries, Rachael Sood sits down with Lauren Bongiorno, founder of Risely Health, the leading Type 1 diabetes virtual health coaching company, who has lived with Type 1 diabetes since she was just seven years old. Lauren breaks down everything you need to know about preparing for pregnancy with Type 1 diabetes from getting your A1C below 6.5 or manageable at least, before trying to conceive. Then talks about managing insulin resistance as it triples during pregnancy and then what navigating tighter blood sugar ranges actually looks like. Lauren opens up about her experience breastfeeding with Type 1 and what nobody tells you about the postpartum period. She shares her own personal pregnancy story, including the traumatic 42 hour labor, the emergency C-section, then revealed her baby spent four days in the NICU which gave her postpartum anxiety (which had nothing to do with diabetes and everything to do with being a new mom). If you have Type 1, and are thinking about starting a family or may be pregnant, this is the most important conversation you will hear.

Could Type 1 diabetes be identified before blood sugar is ever high? In this episode of The Diabetes Diaries, Rachael Sood sits down with Melissa Holloway, founder of SmartStart Health and Type 1 Diabetes Public Advocacy Lead at King's College in London. Melissa was actually diagnosed with Type 1 as a child after years of symptoms that every doctor missed. She was nearly in a coma and almost died before anyone caught it.

Melissa breaks down everything you need to know about Type 1 diabetes screening, what it is, how it works, why most families and even most doctors have never heard of it, and how a simple blood test or at home finger stick kit can detect Type 1 diabetes before symptoms even begin. She discusses a medication called Teplizumab, approved in 2022, that can actually delay the onset of Type 1 diabetes if caught early enough through screening.
