Balancing Pregnancy and Diabetes

November is American Diabetes Month, a time when communities across the country come together to bring attention to diabetes. This year’s focus is on managing diabetes by building your health care team.

Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot use the sugars and starches (carbohydrates) it takes in as food to make energy. The body makes little to no insulin or cannot use the insulin it makes to change those sugars and starches into energy.
