  • Hi.. I think you can have a baby but during the pregnancy months you take care of your blood sugar,our doctor will shift you from tablets to insulin, if you have blood sugar during pregnancy your baby will over weight and delivery will not be easy,your child will come normal ( non diabetic) so ask your doctor and go ahead

  • Each will definitely affect the other.

    If you are planning a pregnancy then get with your doctor. It is extremely important to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Infants of diabetic mothers are at a much higher risk of cardiac defects, respiratory distress due to immature lungs, being large for gestational age, having unstable blood sugars after birth if mom's blood glucose levels are not well maintained throughout the pregnancy.

    Maintaining normal blood glucose levels can be very difficult during pregnancy which is why preconceptual planning is so important. These are considered high risk pregnancies. due to all of the above. Out of control blood glucose levels also put mom at risk of all of the normal complications of diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy, kidney disease/failure, blindness, etc.

    It is possible but to have a safe pregnancy for you and your baby do your homework.

  • I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

    I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

    I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

  • hi there, firstly,you should speak to your doctor to review your diabets and help you prepare for a pregnancy so you are the best physical condition you can be,BEFORE becoming pregnant.your doctor may want to monitor your pregnancy and diabetes closely.It is important that you see a doctor that can evaluate the risks for YOU, rather than generalised comments.There is,although,generally, an increased risk of high blood pressure (for you) and miscarriage or the baby having a birth defect,being born prematurely,jaundice,weighing too much or too little or having dangerously low blood sugar levels after birth.Look after yourself and I wish you all of the luck in the world!

  • I am pregante and I myself was type 2 when I got pregante for my first. I was on the pills but when you get pregante they will have you see an endocrinologist because when you are pregante you can not use the pills. It has a great effect on the baby. Thy will put you on insulin. But if you take care of your diabetes during your pregancy and after that then the baby will be fine. You have a greater risk of having a big baby. my daughter was 9lbs. 4.9 oz when she was born. I hope this is good info for you and good luck!

  • Yes to both. Ask around to find an OB/GYN that you would trust and have a talk with them.

    Don't let this turn you off to the idea of being a mommy, It's just that you will have to be a little more careful about things than other people.
