This week on MamaBetes, Ash and Rachel are joined once again by Renza Scibilia to talk about advocacy in diabetes and pregnancy care. The ladies cover what they think advocacy means, the range of contribution you can make to advocating for yourself and others, and how you can advocate both pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy for both yourself and other women with Type 1 Diabetes.
