| Infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) often have complications associated with fetal hyperinsulinemia induced by maternal
hyperglycemia, the incidence of gestational diabetes has significantly increased in the last decades. Infants of diabetic
mothers are prone to various neonatal adverse outcomes and present study was investigated that the complications of
infants of diabetic between overt diabetic and gestational diabetes. Many of the perinatal complications can be traced to the
effect of maternal glycemic control on the fetus and can be prevented or at least reduced through meticulous prenatal and
intrapartum care. The morbidities in IDMs was studied and a comparison was made between infants born to women with
pregestational diabetes and gestational diabetes. The perinatal outcome was also studied. All consecutive live born babies
born to diabetic mothers at Bhaarath Medical college and Hospital between 15th February 2021 to 15th November 2021
were included in the study. IDMs were evaluated for morbidities like macrosomia, birth asphyxia, congenital anomalies,
birth inuries, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, hyperbilirubinemia and polycythemia. The neonatal
complications in IDMs born to pregestational and gestational diabetic mothers were compared and data was analysed. The
perinatal outcome of these IDMs was studied. we conclude that the early intervention and management of pregnancies
complicated by diabetes will good neonatal care will result in decreased complications in IDMs and also will improve
outcome in this high-risk populationddd |
