title: [Role of glycemic control and incidence of spontaneous abortions pregnant in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus].
abstract: Pregnant women with diabetes mellitus type 1 and poor metabolic control are with high frequency of spontaneous abortion.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine the correlation between the poor glycaemic control of diabetes in early pregnancy and the risk of spontaneous abortion.
  
  
  METHODS
  A prospective study over 116 women with type 1 diabetes mellitus who have been hospitalized in SHATOG "Maichin dom" during the period: January 1998-January 2004 have been done. The pregnant women have been divided in two groups. Pregnant women with pre-planned pregnancy n = 44 and pregnant women with unplanned pregnancy n = 72. The levels of pre- and postprandial blood glucose and those of glycosylated hemoglobin Hb A1c at first trimester have been measured.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 20 of all pregnant women (17.2%) spontaneous abortion have been observed. In those women with abortion the initial glycaemia has been significantly higher-preprandial glucose is 10.2 +/- 3.4 mmol/l and postprandial glucose is 12.2 +/- 4.2 mmol/l in contrast to those in women without abortions--preprandial glucose 6.6 +/- 1 mmol/l postprandial glucose is 7.9 +/- 1.9 mmol/l. The mean values of Hb A1c at first trimester have been higher in those women with abortions--10.1% +/- 1.5 in contrast to those without abortions 7.0% +/- 0.7.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The pregnant women with diabetes type 1 and higher initial levels of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in the first trimester of pregnancy have a higher risk of spontaneous abortions. The rate of spontaneous abortions in diabetic women with pre-planned pregnancy and optimized metabolic control before conception is lower.
