In the Second Gynaecological and Obstetric Clinic in Brno there has been for more than 15 years a specialized department for treatment of diabetes during pregnancy. The department monitors and treats pregnant diabetics from approximately two thirds of the former South Moravian region, i.e. patients with diabetes assessed before pregnancy as well as those where an impaired carbohydrate metabolism was detected during pregnancy.
