title: [Diabetes and pregnancy].
abstract: Diabetes and pregnancy are associated with an increased incidence of preeclampsia. The pathogenesis is not exactly known. However endothelial factors and more special the prostacyclin-thromboxane system may be involved. Perinatal morbidity and mortality is increased in a diabetic pregnancy implicated with preeclampsia. Prevention and a curative approach is necessary.
