Women who have diabetes need to be extra careful when planning a pregnancy. If you have diabetes (either type 1 or type 2) you will need to be very careful to maintain healthy blood sugar levels when you are trying to get pregnant.
Once you are pregnant you will need to control the diabetes very carefully right through your entire pregnancy. It is very important that you speak to your doctor or diabetes clinic about becoming pregnant.
Some women develop diabetes during their pregnancy (gestational diabetes). They will need specialist care and often some treatment but it is likely they will have a healthy pregnancy apart from the diabetes, and have a healthy baby.
There is a separate topic on Gestational diabetes.
