ABSTRACT
Introduction:
“Diabetes and pregnancy” has historically been a social and health problem. Before the discovery of insulin, the complications suffered by pregnant women with diabetes and the product of conception were numerous and serious. However, new difficulties have appeared, such as birth defects in the offspring of women with pregestational diabetes and even a type of diabetes related to pregnancy: gestational diabetes. Together with this, there are also currently, both in Cuba and in the rest of the world, multiple ethical dilemmas in relation to “diabetes and pregnancy”.
Objective:
To explain why “diabetes and pregnancy” is currently a problem for both society and science and for some ethical dilemmas related to this topic.
Methods:
An analysis of the bibliography extracted from the electronic databases, Google Scholar, Pubmed, LILACS and SciELO, was carried out through the Google search engine.
Conclusions:
Currently, there are many problems of a social, scientific and ethical nature in “diabetes and pregnancy”, which involve both pregestational and gestational diabetes. The solution of these represents a great challenge for modern society and science.
