Preparing for Pregnancy with Diabetes
This guide was created for people with diabetes who are planning or hoping to conceive and want more support, clarity, and confidence along the way.
Whether you're working to lower your A1c, increase your time in range, or just feel less overwhelmed, this resource helps you advocate for yourself in every step of the preconception journey.
What’s Inside:
Questions to ask at appointments with your endocrinologist, OB-GYN, MFM, RD, mental health providers, and more
Gentle self-advocacy scripts for hard conversations
Tools for when you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or burned out
Pages just for reflection — before and after appointments
A full section for your support people (partners, family, friends)
Ways to continue working 1:1 with The Diabetes Doula
This is for you if:
You want kids, but your A1c feels “not ready”
You feel overwhelmed by all the numbers and appointments
You’ve been dismissed or not fully heard in medical spaces
You want real support — not just clinical advice
