OPINION: Dr Ken Romeo 775-870-6942
Pregnancy outcome depends on glycaemic control before conception among women with diabetes, so contraception options for women with diabetes is an extremely important issue.
Types of diabetes such as Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, women with history of gestational diabetes, and breast feeding diabetic mothers may be a consideration in selecting a contraceptive method.
On the other hand presence of diabetic complications is a significant determinant.
Different methods of contraception as oral, injectable, implant, intrauterine devices are available. Patient’s choice and health issues both should be considered while prescribing a contraceptive to a woman with diabetes.
Emergency contraception is sometimes required in situations where there is chance of contraceptive failure. It is important for a woman to review the different contraceptive methods with their physician; their use and limitations. Only then can you make a rational choice.
Surprisingly, this topic is discussed quite often and openly in Anti Aging programs that are custom designed for women of childbearing age.
Yours in Health!
