Is it possible to have a VBAC as a diabetic?

I am 22 and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just nearly 6 months ago.  I was forced into a c-section with my son, who is 9 months old.  I am determined to have a VBAC with my next baby.  Has anyone had a VBAC with Type 1?  Or is it just automatically a repeat c-section?  I know the normal risks with a VBAC and with a repeat c-section, are there extra risks being diabetic?
