Question
What is the impact of diabetes on having children?
Answer
When blood sugar levels are stable, the impact is minimal. However, individuals with diabetes can marry and have children like anyone else. Oral hypoglycemic agents can affect the fetus, so it is recommended to switch to insulin replacement therapy three months before planning a child and to keep blood sugar within an ideal range, as oral hypoglycemic agents and high blood sugar toxicity can easily lead to fetal malformations. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
