  • Title: [Effect, on the newborn infant, of carbohydrate metabolism in pregnancy in insulin-dependent diabetics].
    Author: Reiher H, Fuhrmann K, Semmler K, Jutzi E, Besch W, Hahn HJ.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1984; 106(8):524-9. PubMed ID: 6375209.
    Abstract:
    The influence of the moment in pregnancy of insulin dependent diabetic women, at which normoglycemia by insulin therapy could be reached, on cord blood insulin concentration and neonatal morbidity was investigated. There is a positive correlation between the moment of normoglycemia (HbA1-values less than or equal to 8.5%) and the insulin concentration and furthermore the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome and macrosomia in the newborn. It is concluded that a tight metabolic control in insulin dependent diabetic women already prior to or early in pregnancy (at least until the 16th week) will be able to decrease the incidence of morbidity in infants of diabetic mothers.
