title: Longterm morbidity in infants of diabetic mothers.
abstract: A study of the five year morbidity experience by a group of 73 children born to diabetic and gestational diabetic mothers in one institution between 1969 and 1972 is reported. Only one child was found to be remarkably obese. No severe neurological deficit was found and intellectual performance was normal. None had developed diabetes. Five years later the prevalence of diabetes was reassessed. Two children (3%) had developed insulin-dependent diabetes.
