I totally agree with the others, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to have a healthy baby, even as a Type 1. Of course, there is always the possibility that your baby could eventually develop diabetes, but there is also the possibility that it won't.

I'm sure you are already aware, you aren't getting any younger. The longer you wait, the harder it will be on you. The harder it is on you, the harder it will be on your baby.

Find a good high risk OB/GYN and you should be just fine.

Regards,
