Abstract
There are no contraceptive methods that are specifically contraindicated in women with diabetes. Thus, the selection of a method for an individual patient should be made by a provider who is familiar with contraceptive prescribing practices, using the same guidelines that apply to women without diabetes. Because unexpected failure of contraception can lead to such serious complications for the infant of a woman with diabetes, the focus should be on methods with proven high degrees of effectiveness.
