Hi Dhanashree.

Diabetes can cause a real hinderance with the whole process of conception, and more commonly the process of pregnancy itself.

I would recommend working with your doctor to first control your blood sugar levels well enough. Insulin is a better choice during pregnancy as it does not cross the barrier reaching the fetus (seen with oral hypoglycemic drugs) which can cause hypoglycemia in the fetus.

But before conception itself, good control of your blood sugar levels will be mandatory, and to keep it stable for a while.

Best wishes.
