Answers:
Yes, diabetics can have kids. It is just risky and their diabetes should be monitored closely by a maternal-fetal specialist and endocrinologist. High blood sugar during pregnancy can have a negative effect on the fetus. Mostly, a high birth weight and complicatioins after delivery such as hypoglycemia. A child born to a Type I diabetic mother does not have an increased chance of getting diabetes, however if the father is diabetic, the chances raise by 25%. Even as recent as 15 years ago, doctors advised diabetics not to have children, but with the invention of the insulin pump this has changed, thank god.Health Question & Answer
