Gestational weight gain in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is related to both general and diabetes-related clinical characteristics.

Purpose: To assess predictors of gestational weight gain (GWG), according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2009, in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary center. GWG based on the IOM was assessed both uncorrected and corrected for gestational age.

Gestational weight gain and pregnancy outcomes in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aims: We aimed to explore the relationship between gestational weight gain (GWG) after Institute of Medicine (IOM) and pregnancy outcomes in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study at a tertiary medical center (1981-2011).

Outcome Variables: 2 maternal and 14 fetal.

Both glycaemic control and insulin dose during pregnancy in women with type 1 diabetes are associated with neonatal anthropometric measures and placental weight.

Background: To investigate longitudinal associations of maternal glucose/HbA and insulin dose with birthweight-related outcomes in women with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: We performed a cohort study including 473 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes with singleton pregnancies. We investigated maternal self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG, mmol/L), HbA (%, mmol/mol) and insulin dose (IU/kg/day) in the three trimesters as potential independent variables, while adjusting for potential confounders.

Sex ratio at birth is associated with type 1 diabetes characteristics.

Aims: To assess the association between maternal diabetes characteristics and sex ratio at birth (SRB) in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: We performed a case-control study. The study subjects were infants born alive to women with type 1 diabetes and singleton pregnancies.

Sex ratio at birth is associated with first-trimester maternal thyrotropin in women receiving levothyroxine.

Background: The sex ratio at birth (male out of total alive newborns) is historically established at 0.515 and is influenced by numerous factors. It is not known, however, whether it is influenced by maternal thyroid conditions.

[Gestational diabetes mellitus and maternal ethnicity: high prevalence of fetal macrosomia in non-Caucasian women].

Background And Objective: Differences in perinatal outcomes according to ethnicity have been described in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We analysed the relationship between ethnicity, maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with GDM.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of women with GDM attended at the centre between 1986 and 2007.

Maternal body mass index is a predictor of neonatal hypoglycemia in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Context: In diabetic pregnancy, neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) is usually attributed to insufficient regulation of maternal glycemic control. Recent data suggest that maternal body mass index (BMI) could have an influence.

Objective: Our objective was to determine whether an association exists between maternal prepregnancy BMI category and occurrence of NH among infants born to women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Are birth weight predictors in diabetic pregnancy the same in boys and girls?

Objectives: To study the predictors of abnormal fetal growth in diabetic pregnancy, analyzing the role of fetal sex.

Study Design: Observational retrospective study was carried out in a University hospital. We studied 2833 newborns of diabetic mothers who attended the Diabetes and Pregnancy Clinic and delivered in the center between 1/1/1982 and 31/12/2006 (2370 born to women with gestational diabetes mellitus, 391 to women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), and 72 to women with type 2 DM).
