Pregnancy and T1D in times of a pandemic (#9)


This episode is with the wonderful Louise Roebuck, a talented dentist in Warwickshire UK.
She got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 13 years ago in Kenya and is just about to get into her first trimester with her first baby. But the episode is not just for the ladies and we also discussed how the partner can support the other, managing T1D and pregnancy! So listen up guys :)


We touched on many interesting topics such as:
✨ medical criteria to become pregnant
✨ different stages of pregnancy
✨ insulin resistance 
✨ advice given on diet and exercise
✨ emotional challenges 
✨ risks involved
✨ preparation for labour in times of a pandemic
