Pregnancy complicated by non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and type V hyperlipoproteinaemia: case report.
Type V hyperlipoproteinaemia complicated a pregnancy in a 38 year old Samoan multigravida with previous noninsulin dependent diabetes. The hypertriglyceridaemia was associated with severe insulin resistance, nonacidotic ketosis and poor control of the diabetes. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion resulted in excellent diabetic control and plasma triglyceride levels fell to normal without specific dietary fat restriction. The pregnancy resulted in the live birth of a normal healthy infant at 38 weeks' gestation.
