Hello, Thanks for the query. A lady with diabetes can get get pregnant and deliver a healthy child, but a few precautions need to be taken - 1) Shift to Insulin once pregnancy is confirmed. 2) Blood glucose has to be maintained between 90 to 120 mg throughout the pregnancy. 3) Higher glucose levels can harm the fetal brain growth, later there may be large baby and pregnancy outcome can be bad. If all these points are kept in mind and blood glucose is maintained as mentioned, then there will be no problem. Consult a good diabetologist locally. Thanks.
