Diabetes can cause a whole host of problems during pregnancy but most can be prevented by good prenatal care. If you are a diabetic you should be closely followed by a physician who deals with diabetes.
Prior to getting pregnant, speak to your doctor to determine what you should be doing. The best way to avoid complications is to ensure good blood glucose control, maintain a healthy weight and enroll in some type of exercise program. Even daily walking is good enough. In addition, you must take the recommended dose of vitamins and folic acid.
You must follow up with the doctor on a periodic basis to monitor your diabetes and pregnancy.
