Welcome to Your Pregnancy Course

This course is for people with diabetes who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. That includes type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes starts during pregnancy, not before it.

It is also for the people who support them, such as partners and family members. Some lessons speak to them directly.

The course follows pregnancy in order. It starts before you get pregnant. Then it moves on to birth, breastfeeding and the months after. Each chapter covers one part of that path.

Lessons are short and built to be taken in order. You can go back to any lesson later.

This course explains common ideas about diabetes and pregnancy. It does not replace advice from your own care team.

Your care team knows your health history and test results. Their advice is written for you. This course is written for many people.
