  • Title: Pregestational diabetes.
    Author: Pridjian G.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 2010 Jun; 37(2):143-58. PubMed ID: 20685545.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of preexisting diabetes in pregnancy is increasing largely because of an increase in type 2 diabetes. Outcomes of diabetic pregnancies for mother and newborn have improved greatly in recent decades from advances in understanding the disease process, improved education, and new treatment modalities delivered in a team approach. Nausea and vomiting from pregnancy and pregnancy-associated insulin resistance can make glycemic control a challenge. Care of women with preexisting diabetes demands careful monitoring in the preconception, prenatal, and peripartum periods.
