Abstract:
Contraceptive prescription in women with current diabetes, type I or II, and in women with previous gestational diabetes must be highly effective and take into account the metabolic effects and risks particular to diabetes. This article concentrates on reversible, nonbarrier methods including oral contraceptives, long-acting progestins, and intrauterine devices with the goal of enabling the practitioner to develop individually tailored contraceptive therapy for these women.
