title: [Hypoglycemia as a risk factor in embryonic development in maternal diabetes mellitus. Review of the literature].
abstract: Hypoglucemia, or decrease in normal blood glucose concentration, is an important sequel of tight control of type 1 diabetic patients. In pregnant diabetic women, hypoclycemia does not appears affect the embryo or fetal development; while in rodent, it is an important cause of teratogenesis and/or embryotoxicity, when it is presented during organogenesis. Despite metabolic, endocrine and temporal differences between human and rodent pregnancy, a possible damage to the product, caused by hypoblycemia during pregnancy in human, must be considered.
