Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for a year. At that time, I might have had some irritability, and I usually love sweet foods, with high blood sugar. But the doctor said it wasn't very serious. Now we are planning to have a child, and I would like to hear some expert opinions: can people with diabetes have babies?Doctor's answer:
If you can control your blood sugar through diet and medication within a relatively stable range, preferably within the normal range, you can consider having a baby. Deciding to have intercourse during ovulation can help enhance the chances of pregnancy. It is essential to strictly control your diet, avoiding sugary foods such as desserts, chocolate, candies, rice, and noodles. Instead, eat more whole grains and vegetables, which can help lower blood sugar. Avoid overeating and engage in appropriate physical activity.
