If you are female, ovulating and sexually active there is always the possibility of becoming pregnant. Diabetes can cause complications in pregnancy. You should consult with your physician and endocrinologist.

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 16 years, currenlty on the insulin pump and also have PCOS...I got pregnant the first month of trying with my son and on a very low dose of clomid. If you keep your weight down and sugars controled there is not reason that you can't have a healthy baby. My son was also only 7 pounds and born at 39 weeks 2 days.

It's certainly possible. One of the most challenging tasks for high-risk specialist OB/Gyn's is taking care of diabetic patients during their pregnancy.
The three increased risks are 1. stillbirth 2. birth defects and 3 macrosomia (huge baby)
This is why it's important to see a high risk specialist once you get pregnant.
You might also find that it takes longer to get pregnant than non-diabetics. If it takes more than 6 months, you might want to consider taking advantage of medical assistance to help you get pregnant faster.
Good luck and stay in good control of your sugars.

yes, you can still get pregnant and have children but you will need close supervision to check your blood sugar levels during and after the pregnancy. babies of diabetic mothers tend to be on the larger side so i'm sure they will keep a close eye on your weight, too.

Yes, but you have to be very careful during pregnancy. Mothers taking insulin tend to have larger babies along with other possible difficulties. However, I've known of at least two women with diabetes who have had healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

sure you can! but there are a lot of medical risks when diabetes and pregnancy come together. consult your attending physician first before seeing your ob. is suggest you can then weigh the situation and decide if you will still go ahead

yes, but talk to your obgyn before trying to assess the risks for you and the baby and see if you can take anything to help you, you should also talk to an RE (fertility specialist) to get advice as well, you can ask an RE online for free to see what they say and at the very least get you going in the right direction, try www.FertilityTies.com
good luck!

yes, but it can make it harder. Insulin resistance can affect ovualtion, and you will have to be on a modified diet all through the pregnancy. Consult a dr before you start trying.
