I hate to burst your bubble rebetsin, coffeefan, allsgr8, but as a diabetic myself(type1) for 27 years, i can say, yes, we do leed normal lives, we are normal like any other people, but pregnancies are defenitely not the same! They are hard before and during! You have to be very very strict the whole 9 months, and start with an a1c of 6.5.(and that’s not easy)
And can you imagine taking care for 10+ kids AND managing your diabetes?!?
You’re right, marrying healthy is not a garanty for life, but to start with a diebetic female is not a kindershpiel!
mazal77, I guess you’re talking about type2, that’s a different story altogether.
