May 4th, 2009 Tamsin 6 comments

Diabetes QuestionsRight now I’m sort of seeing the man I hope to marry and the other day we brought up the subject of babies.

We figure we are in a very high risk category, but since at this time we’re not married or planning to have kids yet we haven’t asked a doctor. We would both like your opinions and answers.
