Long-Term Outlook for the Offspring of the Diabetic Woman

  • Chapter
Controversies in Diabetes and Pregnancy

Part of the book series: Endocrinology and Metabolism ((EAM,volume 2))

Abstract

Morphologically and metabolically, infants of diabetic mothers differ from infants of nondiabetic mothers. At birth many of these infants are macrosomic and have hypertrophic, hyperplastic pancreatic islet cells. On long-term follow-up, the offspring of diabetic women tend to be obese and to have abnormal glucose tolerance.
