Similar rates of healthy births found for healthy, in-control diabetic mothers.
2002 DEC 26 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- There's good news for expectant mothers who have diabetes, the most common medical complication of pregnancy.
Women who are diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy, who are otherwise healthy and whose glucose is controlled by diet alone deliver healthy infants at virtually the same rate as nondiabetic mothers, according to results from a 10-year analysis of more than 145,000 mothers by researchers at University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
"Even better, we learned that women with gestational diabetes controlled by diet alone had no increase in malformations over nondiabetic women," said Dr. Jeanne Sheffield, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and lead author of the paper, appearing in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
