Diabetes and pregnancy.
Prior to the introduction of insulin, a vast majority of pregnancies complicated by diabetes ended in perinatal death, with an associated risk of maternal death. Currently, virtually all diabetic women can undergo pregnancy with the expectation of good maternal and fetal outcome. However, many challenges still remain in preventing congenital anomalies and macrosomia.
