Answer

I was wondering the same thing! My husband has type one diabetes and we have been TTC for a few months. Best of luck to you!

Answer

Have you had his sperm checked out?

Answer

Plenty of people have diabetes and are able to conceive. Your DH needs to make sure he is controlling his blood sugar, eating healthy and exercising. If you are concerned, have him talk to his doctor about how his treatment could affect him and have him go for a sperm analysis to check  everything out. Any issues from his diabetes can likely be corrected with lifestyle modifications.

​My fiancé has diabetes, and we were able to get pregnant (ended in m/c). I also know several other couples who are dealing with diabetes, and they have children as well! Don't lose hope!
