title: [Results of 5-year activity in a program for pregnant diabetics in south-eastern Poland. I. Methodology of a unified program and evaluation of the degree of diabetes compensation in pregnant women].
abstract: A model of diabetic-obstetrical management in pregnant diabetics from the south-eastern Poland realized in Cracow has been described. It consists in education, intensive insulin therapy and self-control with borrowed glucose meters. The study included 102 pregnant women enrolled from 1987-1991. It was found that the patients in general with poorly normalized diabetes mellitus referred late to a special unit. It was shown that with experience normoglycemia was achieved with lower insulin doses in four injections. A characteristic feature was a very small number (4) of the patients who had thought of diabetes normalization before pregnancy. Coordinated care provides a possibility of reducing failures in pregnancy, nevertheless it is necessary to develop comprehensive care both before and during pregnancy in diabetic women.
