Question
Can diabetic patients get pregnant and have children?
Answer
Hello, if both parents are diabetic, their first-generation offspring do not all necessarily have diabetes; only 5% do, and if only one parent has diabetes, the chance of the first-generation offspring having diabetes is even less, and it often skips a generation. So there’s no need to worry about inheritance. For male diabetic patients, as long as the sperm quality is normal, they can have normal fertility. Female diabetic patients need to start using insulin three months before pregnancy until breastfeeding ends to avoid causing stillbirths, miscarriages, or deformities. The specific use of insulin should be carried out under the guidance of an experienced doctor. Wishing you good health!
