Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. As regards the question of the tablets being taken by you (to control blood glucose & lipids) have absolutely no effect on the planned pregnancy. As wife is having no problems there will be no problem with your treatment. However, as regards your glucose control following should be your targets to remain free from any long term complications associated with diabetes :fbg < 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. Since you have not mentioned any details of lipids there can be no comment regarding the tablets (particularly fenofibrate) being taken. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
