Diabetes and Pregnancy Sep 5th 2012, 09:30 Many times when you hear diabetes in the news, they are talking about Type II diabetes. Similarly, in pregnancy, when most people are talking about diabetes, they are talking about gestational diabetes. While these are both problems, there are women who have had diabetes most of their lives, who then turn around and get pregnant with the diabetes they've had diagnosed beforehand. This presents with challenges of it's own. Lots of women in previous generations in this situation would have been told to avoid pregnancy. This has changed and pregnancy can be very safe for women with pre-exisiting diabetes. Do you know someone who has had diabetes and been pregnant?
