  • Title: [Children of diabetic mothers].
    Author: Dominick HC, Burkart W.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1984 Dec; 132(12):886-92. PubMed ID: 6395006.
    Abstract:
    In the past years several aspects of the diabetogenic fetopathia (e.g. macrosomia, hypoglycemia, cardiomyopathy) have changed. Strict metabolic control of pregnant women approaching normoglycemia and normal fetal insulinemia was followed by a decline in perinatal mortality and morbidity. However, the incidence of congenital malformations (6-8%) remained unchanged. Only normoglycemia before conception and within the first weeks of gestation will reduce this high incidence.
