Hi, @devanab5 - good to hear from you. I'm so glad the doctors were able to stop your preterm labor. Sorry to hear you are now on bedrest. You have sure been through a lot.
Glad your OB has really managed things well and is keeping an eye on your diabetes.
That would be a huge change with suddenly finding out you are Type I diabetic, and I think that @2011panc has shared some wise words from personal experience about your going through a grieving process with all of this.
I'm sorry to hear that depression is a challenge right now. Hoping you are in touch with your OB on that so he/she can help and support you.
I also wanted to mention there are some threads on depression on Mayo Clinic Connect you may want to look at and consider participating in:
- on depression, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/depression-3/bookmark/?ajax_hook=action&_wpnonce=dac05772fa

I recognize you said you don't feel you have good, decent doctors around you. Since your OB has provided really good management of your health, however, I'm wondering if perhaps you might ask if he or she might have a recommendation for a doctor who can see you for your diabetes, help you understand things and walk with you through your condition when you are no longer pregnant?
