Contraception
There is a good range of contraception options out there for women with diabetes. Ask your GP, Diabetes Consultant or the Family Planning Clinic for advice on which option is the best one for you. Even if you are planning a baby it is safest to find the right contraception until you are ready.
"The thing they most wanted to tell me about at this age (20 years) was to use some form of contraception, because you don’t want to get pregnant without it being planned… but they don’t say why it needs to be planned." (Spence et al., 2010)
