title: Diabetes and pregnancy.
abstract: Despite improvement in perinatal outcome over the past several decades, controversy still exists regarding both the management and pathophysiology of pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus. In this article, potential factors contributing to morbidity observed in the offspring of diabetic women are considered. The clinical management of insulin-dependent and gestational diabetes is also discussed.
