Abstract
Volume 10, Number 2, Apr-May-Jun 2013 Contraceptive choices for women with diabetes Jill Shawe Unplanned pregnancy with poor glycaemic control at conception is associated with major maternal and perinatal complications. However, contraception is used haphazardly by women with diabetes and is often not discussed by diabetes professionals. Practice nurses need to be able to give appropriate advice about contraception to the increasing numbers of women of childbearing age who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
