Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism due to oral contraceptives (OCs) appear in diabetics but also in

nondiabetics, mainly those who are at high risk for diabetes mellitus (advanced age, obesity, family history, previous

abnormality of glucose tolerance). Under OCs, diabetes mellitus control deteriorates in 30% of all diabetics.

Atherosclerosis seems to be accelerated and can lead to serious cardiovascular complications. Reducing the

doses of estrogens and progestogens as well as choosing the least diabetogenic progestogen might help to prevent

those complications. We believe that micro- or macro-angiopathy is an absolute contraindication of OCs.
