    Abstract:
    Diabetic mothers affect their offspring during pregnancy, sometimes giving rise to the complete symptoms of diabetic fetopathia with the typical appearance of the child high birth weight, hyperinsulinism, etc. Some of these traits have also been reported to appear in the infants some time before the onset of diabetes in the mother, but no prospective study of infants born to truly prediabetic mothers has yet been reported. Thus it is not possible to say whether or not the previously reported effects are related to an undetected, subclinical diabetes in the mother. A prospective study of the insulin reponse to glucose during pregnancy [9] has been previously published, which included 11 women with a low insulin response to glucose infusion (GIT) - a prediabetic type of insulin response according to the definition of Cerasi and Luft [5] - and a control group of 14 women with a high insulin response to glucose infusion. In the following the neonatal findings in these 13 infants of low insulin responders (ILR) aand 14 infants of high responders (IHR) are reported...
