There are several types of diabetes mellitus. Some people have insulin-dependent (Type 1) or non-insulin dependent (Type 2) that can develop at any time. Approximately 3-5% of women have diabetes only during pregnancy (gestational diabetes). No matter what type of diabetes you have, a healthy pregnancy will require careful planning and special attention to your health prior to, and during, pregnancy. A healthy baby requires a healthy mother.
