Pregnancy, type 1 diabetes, and balancing blood sugars without restriction - can it be done??? Yes!!!!! Join Lemma Brown, RDN and I as we discuss how we can approach pregnancy without falling back into restrictive eating patterns.

What you 'll learn by listening: More about Lemma: Lemma Brown is a registered dietitian and person living with Type 1 Diabetes. Her diagnosis at age 19 inspired her to choose nutrition as her field of study in college because she realized almost immediately in her diagnosis how crucial how and what we eat can impact our blood sugar living with Type 1 Diabetes. She also knew that she wanted to support many others with Type 1 Diabetes and help them learn how to enjoy all foods without feeling deprived or restricted living with Type 1 Diabetes.
