title: Care of diabetes in pregnancy.
abstract: Diabetes, whether existing before pregnancy or brought on by changes in maternal physiology, poses risks to the mother and developing fetus. Excellent preconceptional and pregnancy care can help to minimize, or even to eliminate, these risks. This article reviews the problems that are associated with diabetes in pregnancy and evidence-based strategies to avoid them.
