Abstract
- The article focuses on the importance of preconception counseling (PC) for women with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that PC should include the risks of congenital malformations and the use of contraception. Based on several studies, 62% of women with type I diabetes received PC. According to a study, women with type II diabetes who seek PC are older, more obese and non-Caucasian.
