Today we will be talking about the risks Diabetic women have of getting pregnant and having children with birth defects. In a recent study in the UK scientists have shown that women with Diabetes have a 75 chance of having children with birth defects while the average woman has about a 2% chance. They studied this to see the likeliness and the number. My hope for this study is that they will one day be able to make the percentage drop down to the average woman percentage of having a child with birth defects. Many women with diabetes may now decide not to get pregnant because of the risk.
