Printer Friendly Printed from http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/220044 Diabetes and Pregnancy - Delivering Improved Outcomes Description: Introduction About one in 100 women of childbearing age have diabetes before pregnancy (pre-existing diabetes). Another 3-5% develop diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes). While diabetes poses some risks in pregnancy, advances in healthcare have greatly improved the outlook for these pregnancies. However, untreated or poorly controlled gestational diabetes can seriously harm the fetus. Scope Review of therapeutic approaches to gestational diabetes mellitus and pre-existing diabetes during pregnancy to protect the health of mother & baby Overview of screening and diagnosis guidelines Highlights The prevalence of congenital anomalies among children of diabetic women is much higher compared to non-diabetic women. The frequency of malformations correlates with the degree of maternal glycemic control. Their prevalence may be reduced by normalization of blood glucose and the maintenance of normal glycemic control throughout the pregnancy.
