Show Notes
In this episode of DiabeticReal, we continue to follow Deborah E's journey through the challenges of medical care as a diabetic in a small town. But, this time, she travels back to the familiarity of the big city, St. Paul. It seems like it will follow some of the normal paths of the last pregnancy (next episode), but, there are some new technological discoveries that help and there are some unexpected mishaps that make this delivery more difficult than it ever should have been, even in spite of all of the big city benefits...
Deborah candidly describes feeling like she was being "gutted in a dark alley" during the delivery and the fear and trauma she experienced. Despite the difficulties, she expresses gratitude for the medical staff who ultimately helped her and her baby. Join us as we delve into the raw, real-life moments of a diabetic's journey on this emotionally intense episode of DiabeticReal.
