One of my friends supports our relationship and she knows that we started having sex in November, after waiting as long as we really could. She also gave me a quick warning about his condition and mentioned that I should always use a birth control method to avoid some unexpected health problems along with the pregnancy. I recently heard that many women suddenly become diabetic after they get pregnant, often with no explained medical evidence for the condition. This can be treated in some cases, but a small percentage of women will also have chronic diabetes even after giving birth, which can affect the baby.

Don't get on me about how I'm stupid to be having sex with him. Nobody has tried to stop it from happening. On rare occasions, he may sneak out of his dormitory to seek some private time with me. His dorm staff don't pay much attention and even when he comes back home with evidence of the sex, he doesn't really get in much trouble. And I let everyone know that I NEVER have sex without some form of protection. I'm on the Pill right now and I take it every day when I can. But I always make him give me some warning before we decide to have sex, whether it was planned or unplanned. Prior to having the sex, he had little information about condoms. So I pushed him into the public bathroom, showed him a machine that dispenses condoms, and made him buy several packages that he would keep somewhere safe. He followed my drill pretty well from that point on.

However, now we are growing much closer than before. He is acting like he may want more frequent sex or something else. I don't mind this, but I need to know of the risks and what to look out for. We even discussed future plans, which included having a baby together someday. That would be fine with me, I love kids, and I know this guy would be there for me 100%.

Is there any way for sure to find out anything more about this? I've searched every pregnancy site found on Google and couldn't find what I was looking for. And I am being dead serious about these questions because I need to know if I will have diabetes for life or what not. And I am praying that hopefully I won't because I have a DEADLY fear of needles. I can't even go near my boyfriend while he uses those odd-looking medical devices. I also can't get immunizations in a needle form because of my record of seizures. I have to get my yearly flu shot in the nasal spray form. People with seizures typically are told to avoid needles except needles that inject medicines to stop seizures once they've started. So, anything I should know about?

Nothing in life is perfect, so don't expect me to be!

And honestly, like was said above me, there's no sure way to tell if you'll become diabetic or not.

and i don't really understand the comment about seizures. it depends on exactly what is causing the seizures, but being prone to them doesn't mean you cannot use needles nor does it mean any type of needle usage should trigger a seizure. though obviously i cannot speak for you as i have no idea what is the cause of your seizures.

the precise mechanisms that cause gestational diabetes aren't really well known, so there is not really much one can say at this point. the majority of women who get destational diabetes don't have any of the risk factors for diabetes so screening for diabetes during pregnancy is recommended to all women. therefore it's really hard to speak about any potential genetic contribution, it affects about 5% of all pregnant women.

if you have further questions i would strongly recommend you to speak to a doctor about this as they can properly answer any questions you may have and give you counselling about your options and other recommendations.

I know people who have diabetes and they've never "given" it to someone else by having sex with them. The only thing I would be really worried about is it possibly being passed on to your children. You should be able to have all the sex you want without you getting anything. Besides any possible STDs, of course. You seem to be keeping yourself protected though, so you should be fine. In order for the pill to be effective, you need to take it every single day. If you don't, you risk getting pregnant. If you need help figuring out how to put condoms on, Google it before you have sex again. If you put it on wrong, you're again risking pregnancy. Very important stuff!

It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with your relationship with him. If you're concerned about maybe going too far, talk to him about it. Your best bet is to talk to a medical doctor. They're the only people who are going to be able to give you the best advice. (Wait a while before you start trying to have a baby, though.)

Again, please contact a doctor! If you don't have insurance, try to find a clinic or something. I strongly doubt you can "catch" diabetes, though I am not a doctor. That is a serious concern that needs to be looked into. Please please please see a doctor. With all of the things you're talking about, you need to ask a doctor to be sure. If you want to talk more, you can message me. I don't know much, though I'm willing to help with what I can. Good luck!

How can you miss me if I don't go away?

because it doesn't work like that

you child might be more at risk of getting type 1, but you wouldn't even have a chance unless there is history of it in your family, or generally if you have an auto immune disorder it can increase your chances.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.
