[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1489017, member: 32394"] Retinopathy doesn't create a prohibition on pregnancy, nor do the retinopathy treatments. There is some risk that pregnancy can cause progression of retinopathy, especially hypertension or pre eclampsia during pregnancy. The best thing to do to stop retinopathy progressing is to control your blood sugar, and this fits in with the demands for tight blood sugar control during pregnancy. The target hba1c for ladies trying to conceive is 6.1%. However, sudden tight blood sugar control can in fact have an adverse impact on retinopathy, so it's important to gradually improve blood sugar control under guidance of your healthcare team.
