title: [Clinical experience in diabetes and pregnancy].
abstract: We followed patients with pregnancy and diabetes in an outpatient clinic. 240 had gestational diabetes, 16 had type II and 5 type I diabetes. 85% of 110 patients with gestational diabetes had normal glucose tolerance test post partum (AGT). Type I patients were younger (25 years old) than AGT (32) or type II (33) patients. Complications frequently observed among diabetics included hypertension, premature membrane rupture and polyhydroamnios (the latter only among AGT and type II patients). Insulin was required for diabetes control in 14% of cases. Cesarean section was more frequent in diabetics than in a control population (21%): AGT 45%, type II 45% and type I 60%. Larger newborns occurred in 21% of AGT and 22% of type II as compared to 6% in controls. Neonatal mortality was 2.1% in AGT patients (0.8% in controls). Hyperbilirrubinemia, polyglobulia and hypocalcemia were more frequent among newborns of diabetic patients.
