If needed, yes: Pregnant diabetics require glycemic control to avoid birth defects, growth disorders, dystocia risks, & even fetal death. Insulin is one way to help prevent these complications in pregnancy and is not only healthy, but potentially life-saving. Work with your OB or diabetic specialist to ensure good control & have a safe, healthy pregnancy. Take care.
