With a few weeks to go still until the baby gets here, I feel like I'm really starting to get some parts of motherhood down. Particularly the worry part.

I worry when my blood sugar is high, I worry if it's low. I worry if he's not moving around much and if he's moving around too much, I worry that he'll be a hyperactive little boy and I won't be able to handle it.

In addition to the concerns surrounding the effect my diabetes could have on the baby, I encounter the regular mommy worries, too. I want him to be healthy and happy. And to grow up to make a difference in this crazy world.

But like many of my diabetic mommy friends, one thing I worry about most is passing diabetes on to my child. Sure, there are a lot worse things that could happen to him out in the world, but living with diabetes day in and day out is something I'd rather not have for my son.

So it was with great excitement that I stumbled across this study. Researchers in Norway say simply adding Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D to my child's diet may help to prevent type 1 diabetes.

According to the study, the pancreatic islet cell destruction that leads to a halt in insulin production is caused by inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties found in Omega-3s appear to stop the process.

While more research needs to be done, the fact that this study was performed on humans and not lab animals gives me hope.

Now I just hope I can get this little boy to eat fish. Do fish sticks count?
