Laura poses another interesting question. According to the most recent guidelines, the progestin-only pill is also recommended for women with type 2 diabetes (which is often accompanied by excess weight, obesity and/or hypertension). This applies to both recently-diagnosed women as well as to those who have been diagnosed for a long time, and who have diabetic complications, for whom the use of the combined pill is not recommended. The decision must still be discussed and agreed upon with your gynecologist based on the personal profile of the individual woman.
Don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor to resolve any doubts you may have.
