Can I Conceive At Age 36 With Controlled Diabetes ?
I am 36 yrs old have diabeties after my first delivery at age 30. I got my first baby after infertility treatment and had metformin tablets during pregnancy(for pcod). I had cesarian during 8th month. That time also my sugar level was normal. I became diabeties only after 4months of my delivery.Now I am using metformin 500mg 2 times ,but for the past 6months my sugar level is normal. My question is whether I can concieve another one without any risk.

hi sheena!
u can certainly do so esp if u are a well controlled diabetic . all u need to do is get some investigations done --hb/tlc/dlc/esr/ HbA1c/ urine r/m/ fasting & pp bld sugars / lh & fsh levels in fasting --- do consult a physician in person as well as your gyna dr. keep taking your anti diabetic medication now . later on during pregnancy your physician will switch you over to insulin --which is best anti diabetic of pregnancy
