Overall answer =yes: Yes you can have a baby. But I would recommend having a high risk ObGYn as the attending physician, or at least an OB that has experience in delivering babies of diabetics and monitoring them closely during the pregnancy and gestation.

Diabetes is common: People with Diabetes can live a near normal life including having babies and surgery, if and when needed. Wound healing can take an extra day or two longer than normal, but that does not pose a significant problem in the young people(under 50 years of age). So I would ask you to quit worrying and live a normal life. Doctors can take are of any and all medical issues due to diabetes. Good luck.
