Yes. Natural birth is definitely possible for you. But since you are diabetic you are in the "high risk" category. Controlling Blood sugar during pregnancy is difficult. So the most important thing you have to do is to keep a very strict controlled diet that is useful for controlling sugars. Seek more advices from your Gynecologist. Good Luck.
