A member asked:

I am type 2 dm on oral medication. now i am preganant. since i am on tablets instead of insulin can i continue my preganancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Some of the oral meds actually decrease the risk of miscarriage. Others do carry some risk and will need to be changed. There is also a chance that you will need to be put on insulin at some point in the pregnancy but you can with close monitoring have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Best of wishes.
