Abstract
The infant of the diabetic mother is mainly oversized; these macrosomic infants are born to hyperglycemic poorly controlled non-ketotic diabetic mothers. Underweight infants can be born to diabetic mothers with longstanding diabetes and with vascular complications. In the overweight infants hypoglycaemia is frequently observed due to the hyperinsulinism.
