On the May 26 episode of ’16 and Pregnant,’ we are introduced to Aleah, whose pregnancy is considered high-risk due to her type 1 diabetes.
Aleah Lebeouf, 18, is pregnant with her first child, while taking care of her boyfriend’s toddler son, Noah. On top of that, she suffers from type 1 diabetes, which means she is constantly monitoring her blood-sugar levels. Aleah’s diabetes means her pregnancy is high-risk for complications, and when her blood-sugar levels are out of control at 37 weeks her doctors fear she could give birth to a stillborn baby.
