Pregnancy with type 1 is never simple, but this week’s guest faced an unusual complication. Vanessa Messenger has had two babies during the COVID pandemic! Vanessa, who lives with T1D, gave birth to her daughter in the summer of 2020. She just had another baby – 15 days before our interview.
Her new book is launching this month. Called, “Teddy Talks: A Paws-itive Story About Type 1 Diabetes” it features a little dog who helps explain what kids should know about check glucose, using a CGM, taking insulin and a lot more. Teddy is modeled after Vanessa’s real-life dog, who already looks like a character in a children’s book.
