  • Title: Perinatal outcome in relation to maternal glycaemic control in diabetic mothers.
    Author: Hosamane US, Malhotra S, Narang A, Dhall K.
    Journal: Indian J Med Res; 1990 Aug; 92():216-9. PubMed ID: 2228064.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between glycaemic control and perinatal outcome was assessed in 60 pregnant diabetic women, divided into three groups on the basis of the mean plasma glucose level. Group I, had mean plasma glucose less than 120 mg/dl (32 patients); group II, mean plasma glucose 121-140 mg/dl (13 patients); and group III, mean plasma glucose exceeding 140 mg/dl (15 patients). The degree of maternal glycaemic control appeared to affect the perinatal outcome. Neonatal morbidity was minimum in group I (31.25%) followed by group II infants (46.15%) and maximum in group III infants (66.6%). Maintenance of maternal plasma glucose level at or below 120 mg/dl was thus associated with minimum neonatal morbidity.
