Question
A 26-year-old type 2 diabetic patient with well-controlled blood sugar levels and good overall health is considering the issue of childbirth. She wants to know if diabetes will affect the fetus and whether diabetic patients can safely have children.
Answer
Diabetic patients who wish to have children need to start insulin therapy three months before pregnancy to control blood sugar stability and avoid any complications. Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy. Most children with a family history of diabetes have a higher risk of developing diabetes, so parents need to pay attention to high-risk diabetic populations from a young age, help their children develop good living and dietary habits, and regularly take their children to the hospital for check-ups to completely avoid the trouble of diabetes.
