"In Grit Pregnancies, registered nurse, CDCES, mother, and type 1 diabetic, Allison

Herschede provides step-by-step guidance for achieving a safe and healthy pregnancy

with type 1 diabetes. I highly recommend this engaging, inspirational book-filled with

valuable medical information, personal insights, and helpful advice-to all women with

type 1 diabetes who are pregnant or wish to conceive."-Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDCES,

author of "The Low Carb Dietitian's Guide to Health and Beauty"

"For women with type 1 diabetes, figuring out how to adjust insulin dosing can be

confusing. Allison equips you with practical and easy-to-understand tips to help maintain

optimal blood sugar control during your pregnancy."-Lily Nichols, RDN, CDCES, author

of "Real Food for Pregnancy and Real Food for Gestational Diabetes"

"It is so important that a woman maintains tight control of her diabetes while pregnant.

She must have blood sugars that look like a healthy non-diabetic in order to avoid

chances of complications in pregnancy. However, there is very little support for for this

type of control for diabetics in general, let alone pregnant diabetics. Allison gives an

amazing blueprint on exactly how any woman with diabetes can have great control of

their blood sugars and a safe pregnancy. This book is an essential read for all pregnant T1

women!" -Dr. Ryan Attar, ND, MS

"This book made me cry because I wish I would have known this information

when I was pregnant with my daughters. This wealth of information and support

would have reduced my pregnancy-related stress and worry and would have helped

me to be more confident and successful in my T1D management.

Like most women experience, my Endo didn't know pregnancy and my Obstetrician

didn't know diabetes. I had so many important questions and no definitive source

for answers and support. My medical team was often contradictory in their

recommendations and I was alone to figure it out the best I could. I don't want

anyone to feel that way.

This book is for every woman who has diabetes and is wondering if - and how - she

can have a healthy pregnancy, more consistent blood sugar levels, along with less

stress and uncertainty." -Lisa La Nasa, CEO and founder of diaVerge Diabetes
