title: [Factors affecting birthweight in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus pregnancy].
abstract: Fetal growth is affected by various maternal factors. Metabolic disturbances often present in pregnancy complicated by insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus may have important effect on birthweight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of maternal morphometric and metabolic factors on birthweight parameters in women with IDDM. Data were analyzed from 124 diabetic women who delivered in I Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University Medical School in Warsaw between 1989-1998. Maternal morphometric factors, glycemic control, insulin requirement, glycosylated hemoglobin and fructosamine levels were correlated with birthweight and birthweight ratios. Glycemic control in first weeks of second part of pregnancy as well as maternal height and weight gain during pregnancy affected birthweight in women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
