Yes, diabetics can have kids!. It is just risky and their diabetes should be monitored closely by a maternal-fetal specialist and endocrinologist!. High blood sugar during pregnancy can have a negative effect on the fetus!. Mostly, a high birth weight and complicatioins after delivery such as hypoglycemia!.
