Glycemic status and fertility —implications for preconception care

There is an increasing interest in understanding the relationship between overall health status and fertility, both in how poor health may impact fertility and in how poor fertility may affect health status later in life. Much of the focus to date has been on clinically overt disease. For example, there is a growing literature showing that time to conception is longer for women with diabetes than for women without diabetes (1). Conversely, women with a history of infertility also seem to be at greater risk of developing diabetes (2).
