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

A follow-up study of the effect of different oral contraceptives (OCs) on carbohydrate metabolism was presented. 1

group of women received norethynodrel plus mestranol 21 days each month while a second group received .5 mg

etynodiol diacetate daily. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed prior to medication and after 3, 6 and

12 months while blood glucose and plasma insulin were measured throughout. Glucose tolerance was definitely

reduced following administration of the combined OC (a diabetic effect). No diabetogenic effect was demonstrated

in the etynodiol diacetate group. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 568-06)
