If diabetes is not controlled during pregnancy your baby can have increased risk of congenital
abmormalities or baby can get too big causing major problems with delivery.
Hence strict blood sugar control is vital during pregnancy.
The pregnancy has to be well planned in advance and discussed with your doctor before the
conception. In general all diabetic tablets need stopping and a good control should be achieved with
diet and insulin.
If you get to know that you are pregnant while on tablets, make an early appointment to see your doctor.
Some women who are not known diabetics could show evidence of mild diabetes for the first time
during pregnancy ( gestational diabetes ) which resolves after delivery. They too need strict
monitoring during pregnancy.They may develop true diabetes later in life.
