Pregnancy and diabetes: Your health care team

Your diabetes health care team likely includes an endocrinologist or other diabetes specialist, a diabetes educator, a registered dietitian, and an eye specialist. As your pregnancy progresses, your health care team can help you manage your blood sugar levels and adjust your diabetes treatment plan as needed.

During pregnancy, your health care team will also include an obstetrician who can help you manage diabetes in pregnancy, teach you about potential complications to watch out for, and order special tests throughout your pregnancy.
