  • Title: Diabetic twin pregnancy: an unequal result.
    Author: Burke BJ, Savage PE, Sherriff RJ, Dixon HG.
    Journal: Lancet; 1979 Jun 30; 1(8131):1372-3. PubMed ID: 87833.
    Abstract:
    A diabetic mother produced twins dissimilar in both appearance and blood biochemistry--one being clearly macrosomic and "hyperinsulinised" at delivery, the other apparently normal. It is suggested that the development of fetal hyperinsulinism may depend not only on maternal blood-glucose control but also on fetal blood-supply or genetic factors.
