Frequently asked question: Can you become pregnant if you have diabetes?

Yes, you can become pregnant if you have diabetes and if you are in good condition. It is important that blood sugar levels are stable, well in advance before a pregnancy. This is also very important in the first months of pregnancy. That’s the moment when the organs of the child develop and abnormalities can occur due to long-term high blood sugar values. Furthermore, there is an increased risk of abnormal growth of the foetus and miscarriage for women with diabetes. During pregnancy, blood sugar levels can fluctuate considerably due to changes in pregnancy hormones, so good guidance from a doctor is necessary.
