Q: I am a 29 years old type-1 diabetic woman for the last 10 years. I recently discovered that I have multiple fibroids in my uterus. Will diabetes along with fibroids affect conceiving?

A:Your diabetes and fibroids in the uterus are two separate problems and both may have impact on conceiving and future pregnancy. Diabetes needs to be well controlled before planning pregnancy and you will have to continue on insulin during pregnancy. During pregnancy blood sugar levels fluctuates drastically and need a regular blood sugar monitoring with fine control. Impact of fibroids on conceiving and future pregnancy depends upon their location of fibroids in the uterus. You need to see a gynaecologist to know further details.
