DIGITAL GUIDE: Birth Control & Diabetes: What to Ask Before You Start
If you live with Type 1, Type 2, or a history of gestational diabetes, birth control isn’t one-size-fits-all. Hormonal methods can impact blood sugar, cardiovascular risk, and your overall wellbeing — yet most people are never told what questions to ask or how to navigate their options with diabetes in mind.
This evidence-based, easy-to-read digital guide gives you the tools to make informed, empowered decisions about your reproductive health.
This free guide includes:
✔️ 5 essential questions to ask your provider
✔️ How different birth control methods may affect blood sugar
✔️ A comparison of hormonal vs. non-hormonal options
✔️ A quick look at fertility awareness methods (FABMs)
✔️ Tips on self-advocacy in healthcare settings
✔️ Real references from clinical research + medical guidelines
Who it's for:
✅ People with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes
✅ Anyone exploring or reevaluating birth control
✅ Those seeking non-hormonal or body-literate methods
✅ People who want more than "just take the pill" as advice
✅ Clients who want whole-person, full-spectrum reproductive care
