Could diabetes be transmitted in an egg donation pregnancy?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/13/2023

Diabetes is a metabolic disease that has a genetic component and is sometimes inheritable.

Therefore, it would be normal for diabetes not to be transmitted in an egg donation pregnancy, as egg donor candidates must undergo various medical tests before being accepted as egg donors. Under no circumstances can egg donor candidates suffer from genetic, hereditary or infectious transmissible diseases.
