Martin Wood, Editor in Chief, introduces the topic for The PLAID Journal's second issue, "Pregnancy & Diabetes.""This issue is for those of us that simply need to know that someone 'gets it' when it comes to the thoughts and feelings that we have about pregnancy and diabetes. Its that defiant voice that stands up and acknowledges that it is absolutely possible to have a perfectly healthy child when we have diabetes. Too often we accept that people with diabetes cant or shouldn't have babies, yet the evidence suggests otherwise, and we see people overcoming obstacles every day to nurture and grow their families. I am inspired to see so many amazing and courageous people in this issue who are proving to the world that we can do this, even with diabetes."
