Having children is a big decision for anyone. If you are a woman who has diabetes, however, it is a decision that requires much more thought and careful preconception planning. Many women who have diabetes have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. But this isn’t to say that it’s an easy experience – it requires a lot of work and dedication on your part.
We have produced this video to help you to understand the importance of preconception planning. If you know someone who has diabetes and may be thinking about getting pregnant, why not send her the link to this page? The film will also be posted on our social media channels so you can spread the word there too.
Once you've watched this video, you can check out Becca's top tips.
