[Glucose tolerance test in children of diabetic mothers. Evaluation from birth to twelve years of age (author's transl)].
Twenty-five children born of 23 diabetic mothers, 17 of whom were treated with insulin, underwent glucose tolerance tests with estimation of blood insulin levels. These tests were performed on a regular basis before the age of five years, then every two years. Blood glucose and insulin disturbances were slight but appeared frequently since they were present in 56% of our cases. Our data show that blood glucose disturbances in children of diabetic mothers are more common if the diabetes of the mother suggests a maturity onset type on the basis of accompanying symptoms and treatment, and hence not insulin dependent. In this case, the chances that the child will become diabetic are much greater and this may be detected very early by a minor disturbance in the oral glucose tolerance test.
