Patient's question:
My husband has diabetes. I am 43 years old. Can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, both parents are diabetic, and their first-generation children are not 100% likely to develop diabetes. Only 5% of them will get diabetes. If only one parent has diabetes, the chance of their first-generation children developing diabetes is even lower, and it is often inherited over generations. So, don't worry too much about inheritance.For male diabetic patients, as long as their sperm quality is normal, they can have normal fertility. Female diabetic patients need to start using insulin three months before pregnancy and continue until breastfeeding ends to avoid causing fetal death, miscarriage, or malformations. Specific insulin usage should be conducted under the guidance of an experienced doctor.
