Can people with diabetes have children?

Patient's question:

My wife has type 2 diabetes, and her current blood sugar level is around 6. She is 26 years old, and everything else is normal. Also, since she is at the optimal age for childbirth, my wife and I plan to have a child in the near future. However, considering her diabetes, we have been very concerned about whether this might affect the baby. Can people with diabetes have children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if diabetic patients want to have children, they must use insulin treatment for three months in advance to control blood sugar stably and without complications before considering having children. Wishing you a happy pregnancy. Children with a family history of diabetes have a high probability of developing diabetes, so parents need to pay attention to high-risk diabetes groups from a young age, help children develop good living habits and regular balanced dietary habits, and take them to the hospital for regular physical examinations to completely avoid the troubles of diabetes.
