Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the cerebro-placental-uterine ratio (CPUR) in pregnant women with pregestational diabetes and determine its role in predicting adverse prenatal outcomes. METHODS This prospective, cohort study conducted at a tertiary hospital included 65 patients with pregestational diabetes (25 with type1 diabetes, 40 with type2 diabetes) and 130 low-risk patients in the control group. The cerebroplacental (CPR) ratio and the CPUR were calculated. Composite adverse perinatal outcome (CAPO) is defined as the presence of any of the following: (1) Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, (2) Apgar at 5 min <7, and (3) umbilical cord arterial pH <7.10. The relationship of CPR and CPUR with CAPO was investigated. RESULTS CPR and CPUR were significantly lower in the pregestational diabetes group than in the control group. The NICU admission was higher in the case group. In receiver operating characteristic analyses, the optimal cut-off value of CPUR was 1.46 (AUC = 0.72, p = 0.003, 80% sensitivity, and 69% specificity) to predict CAPO and the optimal cut-off value of CPUR was 1.50 for NICU admission (AUC = 0.70, p = 0.013, 77% sensitivity, and 66% specificity). CONCLUSION Low CPUR values were found to be associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in women with pregestational diabetes. With the increasing number of studies, CPUR is expected to be utilized more widely in routine obstetric practice.

Abstract
Antepartum fetal surveillance (AFS) is essential for pregnant women with diabetes to mitigate the risk of stillbirth. However, there is still no universal consensus on the optimal testing method, testing frequency, and delivery timing. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the evidence concerning AFS and the most advantageous timing for delivery in both gestational and pregestational diabetes mellitus cases. This review's methodology involved an extensive literature search encompassing international diabetes guidelines and scientific databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Scopus. The review process meticulously identified and utilized pertinent articles for analysis. Within the scope of this review, a thorough examination revealed five prominent international guidelines predominantly addressing gestational diabetes. These guidelines discuss the utility and timing of fetal well-being assessments and recommendations for optimal pregnancy resolution timing. However, the scarcity of clinical trials directly focused on this subject led to a reliance on observational studies as the basis for most recommendations. Glucose control, maternal comorbidities, and the medical management received are crucial in making decisions regarding AFS and determining the appropriate delivery timing.

Abstract
Pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus are relevant complications of pregnancy, and antidiabetic drugs are prescribed to obtain glycemic control and improve perinatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to describe the prescription pattern of antidiabetics before, during and after pregnancy in Italy and to evaluate its concordance with the Italian guideline on treatment of diabetes mellitus. A multi-database cross-sectional population study using a Common Data Model was performed. In a cohort of about 450,000 women, the prescribing profile of antidiabetics seemed to be in line with the Italian guideline, which currently does not recommend the use of oral antidiabetics and non-insulin injection, even if practice is still heterogeneous (up to 3.8% in the third trimester used oral antidiabetics). A substantial variability in the prescription pattern was observed among the Italian regions considered: the highest increase was registered in Tuscany (4.2%) while the lowest was in Lombardy (1.5%). Women with multiple births had a higher proportion of antidiabetic prescriptions than women with singleton births both in the preconception period and during pregnancy (1.3% vs. 0.7%; 3.4% vs. 2.6%) and used metformin more frequently. The consumption of antidiabetics in foreign women was higher than Italians (second trimester: 1.8% vs. 0.9%, third trimester: 3.6% vs. 1.8%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrapartum glucose management is critical to reducing neonatal hypoglycemia shortly after birth. Although it is known that insulin is required for all pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the optimal mode of intrapartum glycemic control is not known. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effect of intrapartum use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with that of intravenous insulin infusion for glucose management among pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus on neonatal blood glucose levels. STUDY DESIGN This was a randomized controlled trial of pregnant participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus. After written informed consent, participants were randomly allocated to 1 of 2 intrapartum insulin administration strategies: continuation of their continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or intravenous insulin infusion. The primary outcome was the first neonatal blood glucose level. RESULTS Between March 2021 and April 2023, 76 participants were approached, and 70 participants were randomized (35 participants in the intravenous insulin infusion group and 35 participants in the continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group). The groups were similar in terms of age, race/ethnicity, pregravid body mass index, nulliparity, and gestational age at delivery. There was no statistically significant difference in the first neonatal glucose measurement between the 2 groups (50.1±23.4 vs 49.2±22.6; P=.86). In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in any secondary neonatal outcomes. Approximately 57.1% of neonates in the continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group required either oral, intravenous, or both treatments for hypoglycemia, whereas 51.4% of neonates in the intravenous infusion group required treatment. In both groups, 28.6% of neonates required intravenous treatment for hypoglycemia. CONCLUSION Pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus using either intravenous insulin infusion or continuation of their continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for intrapartum insulin administration had no difference in the primary outcome of neonatal hypoglycemia. Patients should be given the option of both glycemic management strategies intrapartum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes in pregnancy, including pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), is a significant global health concern. Understanding its temporal patterns is crucial for effective healthcare planning and intervention strategies. METHODS This retrospective observational study utilized data from the United States Diabetes Surveillance System (USDDS) spanning 2000 to 2019. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of temporal trends in PGDM and GDM prevalence among people aged 15-44 years. Additionally, age and race-based subgroup analyses were performed to identify variations in diabetes patterns. RESULTS Over the two-decade study period, PGDM and GDM exhibited distinct temporal patterns. PGDM prevalence remained stable initially (1.1% per 100 deliveries) but gradually increased to 1.6% by 2019. In contrast, GDM prevalence showed a consistent rise, reaching 9.6% per 100 deliveries by 2019. Age-specific analysis revealed higher prevalence rates in older age groups, peaking at 40-44 years. Race-based analyses unveiled significant disparities, with Asians having the highest GDM rates and Black individuals having the highest PGDM rates. CONCLUSION The prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy in the United States has increased significantly from 2000 to 2019, emphasizing the need for continued surveillance and tailored interventions. Age and race-specific disparities highlight the importance of the growing impact of diabetes in pregnancy on maternal and fetal health.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the impact of pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM and GDM) on the development of fetal intracranial structures and spaces. METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study involved singleton pregnancies between 20 and 32 weeks of gestation. The study comprised a control group (n = 65) of healthy pregnant women without diabetes mellitus (DM); a PGDM group (n = 43) of pregnant women having type 2 DM in a controlled diabetic state; and a GDM group (n = 26) of pregnant women with GDM diagnosed with 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and received intervention to reduce the diabetic impact on fetus. During neurosonographic evaluation, the simultaneous measurements of corpus callosum (CC) width and depth in the midsagittal image; and lateral craniocortical and posterior craniocortical widths of the subarachnoid space and insular and parieto-occipital fissure depths in the axial image were performed. Before statistical analysis, these values were carefully adjusted for the occipitofrontal diameter. RESULTS The DM groups displayed substantially higher frequencies of family history of DM and obstetric history of GDM compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Regarding the neurosonographic parameters, the CC length and insular and parieto-occipital fissure depths were significantly increased in the GDM group but not in the PGDM group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found among the study groups regarding other neurosonographic parameters (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of neurosonographical evaluation of fetal brain structures and spaces reveal that diabetic impact may not be seen in the presence of PGDM, especially in pregnant women receiving prenatal interventions to reduce or avoid diabetic adverse effects on fetal brain development. The effect of GDM on neurosonographically assessed fetal brain development should be evaluated in further studies with subjects matched for gestational weeks and antenatal care conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether changes in fetal heart function according to glycemic control in pregnant women with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes using spectral tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and M-mode imaging. METHODS This study included 68 pregestational diabetic women (DM) at 30-32 gestational weeks. All participants were divided into two groups: type 1(n = 17) and type 2(n = 51), and then these groups were divided into the subgroups as well-controlled and poorly controlled, according to fasting glucose (FG) and 1-h postprandial glucose (PPG) values. Cardiac parameters were compared for well- and poorly-controlled groups with TDI and M-mode imaging. The correlation of cardiac parameters with FG, PPG, and HbA1c values was evaluated. Their roles in predicting neonatal outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS Thickness measurements, early diastolic annular peak velocity (E'), late diastolic annular peak velocity (A'), tissue isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT'), and tissue myocardial performance index (MPI') were increased in both poorly controlled groups. Tissue ejection time (ET') was significantly reduced in the poorly controlled groups, while tissue isovolumetric contraction time (ICT') was not significantly changed in any group. Tricuspid, mitral, and septal annular plane excursions (TAPSE, MAPSE, and SAPSE, respectively) were significantly decreased in all poorly controlled subgroups. E', E'/A', MPI', IRT', ET', and M-mode imaging parameters significantly correlated with FG notably. CONCLUSION Maternal hyperglycemia leads to subtle changes in systolic and diastolic functions both in the interventricular septum and ventricles, so it is essential to ensure glycemic control in both Type 1 and Type 2 DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess whether continuous glucose monitor use in type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnancy is associated with improved perinatal outcomes. DATA SOURCES We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane library from inception through May 9, 2022. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA We included all studies that compared continuous glucose monitor use with fingerstick glucose monitoring in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS The initial search yielded 2463 unique citations that were screened in Covidence by 2 independent reviewers. Study types included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and cross-sectional studies. Our outcomes of interest were macrosomia or large-for-gestational-age infants, hemoglobin A1c, cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy including preeclampsia, gestational age at delivery, and neonatal hypoglycemia. RESULTS Three randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. We performed random-effects meta-analyses of estimates from 2 studies without risk of significant bias and reported summary adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Meta-analysis of 56 women with continuous glucose monitor use and 53 control women without continuous glucose monitor use showed that there was no difference in the incidence of large-for-gestational-age infants between continuous glucose monitor users and standard-of-care controls (odds ratio, 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-1.78) with an I2 of 0%. In addition, there was no difference in the development of preeclampsia between continuous glucose monitor users and standard-of-care controls (odds ratio, 1.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-7.22) with an I2 of 0%. CONCLUSION Continuous glucose monitor use was not associated with improved perinatal outcomes as assessed by large-for-gestational-age infants and preeclampsia. This review is limited by the small amount of data available for this population, and further research is needed.

Abstract
Human gut dysbiosis is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, the gut microbiome in pregnant women with pregestational type 2 diabetes mellitus (PGDM) remains unexplored. We investigated the alterations in the gut microbiota composition in pregnant women with or without PGDM. The gut microbiota was examined using 16S rRNA sequencing data of 234 maternal fecal samples that were collected during the first (T1), second (T2), and third (T3) trimesters. The PGDM group presented a reduction in the number of gut bacteria taxonomies as the pregnancies progressed. Linear discriminant analyses revealed that Megamonas, Bacteroides, and Roseburia intestinalis were enriched in the PGDM group, whereas Bacteroides vulgatus, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Eubacterium rectale, Bacteroides uniformis, Eubacterium eligens, Subdoligranulum, Bacteroides fragilis, Dialister, Lachnospiraceae, Christensenellaceae R-7, Roseburia inulinivorans, Streptococcus oralis, Prevotella melaninogenica, Neisseria perflava, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides caccae, Veillonella dispar, and Haemophilus parainfluenzae were overrepresented in the control group. Correlation analyses showed that the PGDM-enriched taxa were correlated with higher blood glucose levels during pregnancy, whereas the taxonomic biomarkers of normoglycemic pregnancies exhibited negative correlations with glycemic traits. The microbial networks in the PGDM group comprised weaker microbial interactions than those in the control group. Our study reveals the distinct characteristics of the gut microbiota composition based on gestational ages between normoglycemic and PGDM pregnancies. Further longitudinal research involving women with T2DM at preconception stages and investigations using shotgun metagenomic sequencing should be performed to elucidate the relationships between specific bacterial functions and PGDM metabolic statuses during pregnancy and to identify potential therapeutic targets. IMPORTANCE The incidence of pregestational type 2 diabetes mellitus (PGDM) is increasing, with high rates of serious adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes that are strongly correlated with hyperglycemia. Recent studies have shown that type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with gut microbial dysbiosis; however, the gut microbiome composition and its associations with the metabolic features of patients with PGDM remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the changes in the gut microbiota composition in pregnant women with and without PGDM. We identified differential taxa that may be correlated with maternal metabolic statuses during pregnancy. Additionally, we observed that the number of taxonomic and microbial networks of gut bacteria were distinctly reduced in women with hyperglycemia as their pregnancies progressed. These results extend our understanding of the associations between the gut microbial composition, PGDM-related metabolic changes, and pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neighborhood walkability is a community-level social determinant of health that measures whether people who live in a neighborhood walk as a mode of transportation. Whether neighborhood walkability is associated with glycemic control among pregnant individuals with pregestational diabetes remains to be defined. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the association between community-level neighborhood walkability and glycemic control as measured by hemoglobin A1c (A1C) among pregnant individuals with pregestational diabetes. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective analysis of pregnant individuals with pregestational diabetes enrolled in an integrated prenatal and diabetes care program from 2012 to 2016. Participant addresses were geocoded and linked at the census-tract level. The exposure was community walkability, defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency National Walkability Index (score range 1-20), which incorporates intersection density (design), proximity to transit stops (distance), and a mix of employment and household types (diversity). Individuals from neighborhoods that were the most walkable (score, 15.26-20.0) were compared with those from neighborhoods that were less walkable (score <15.26), as defined per national Environmental Protection Agency recommendations. The outcomes were glycemic control, including A1C <6.0% and <6.5%, measured both in early and late pregnancy, and mean change in A1C across pregnancy. Modified Poisson regression and linear regression were used, respectively, and adjusted for maternal age, body mass index at delivery, parity, race and ethnicity as a social determinant of health, insurance status, baseline A1C, gestational age at A1C measurement in early and late pregnancy, and diabetes type. RESULTS Among 417 pregnant individuals (33% type 1, 67% type 2 diabetes mellitus), 10% were living in the most walkable communities. All 417 individuals underwent A1C assessment in early pregnancy (median gestational age, 9.7 weeks; interquartile range, 7.4-14.1), and 376 underwent another A1C assessment in late pregnancy (median gestational age, 30.4 weeks; interquartile range, 27.8-33.6). Pregnant individuals living in the most walkable communities were more likely to have an A1C <6.0% in early pregnancy (15% vs 8%; adjusted relative risk, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-2.16), and an A1C <6.5% in late pregnancy compared with those living in less walkable communities (13% vs 9%; adjusted relative risk, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.63). For individuals living in the most walkable communities, the median A1C was 7.5 (interquartile range, 6.0-9.4) in early pregnancy and 5.9 (interquartile range, 5.4-6.4) in late pregnancy. For those living in less walkable communities, the median A1C was 7.3 (interquartile range, 6.2-9.2) in early pregnancy and 6.2 (interquartile range, 5.6-7.1) in late pregnancy. Change in A1C across pregnancy was not associated with walkability. CONCLUSION Pregnant individuals with pregestational diabetes mellitus living in more walkable communities had better glycemic control in both early and late pregnancy. Whether community-level interventions to enhance neighborhood walkability can improve glycemic control in pregnancy requires further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of recent research on the relationship between preeclampsia and diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. METHODOLOGY A structured search for literary sources in PubMed and ScienceDirect databases using keywords, followed by a selection of papers based on solid methodology. RESULTS Preeclampsia is a serious condition, which complicates 2-7% of pregnancies. It causes maternal complications (organ dysfunction) and fetal complications (pathological haemodynamic parameters of the uteroplacental unit and fetal growth restriction). Pregnant women with pregestational diabetes have a 2- and 4-times higher risk of developing preeclampsia and the ones with gestational diabetes have 1.3-times higher risk. The main identified risk factors are inadequate compensation of diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and the duration of diabetes. To minimalize the risk of developing preeclampsia, a composite screening has been implemented. With a positive result a preventive use of acetylsalicylic acid from at the latest 16 and up until the 36th week is advised. Preeclampsia is also a risk factor for developing diabetes mellitus and other cardiovascular diseases later in life. For that reason, a long-term dispensary of women who had preeclampsia in pregnancy is recommended.

Abstract
Objective The aim was to demonstrate the prevalence of fetal myocardial hypertrophy (FMH) in diabetes mellitus (DM) pregnant women using spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) M-mode. Material and Methods This prospective descriptive study was conducted at Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital (BAH) Royal Thai Air Force between April and December 2022. Participants were singleton DM pregnant women with gestational age (GA) between 18 and 40 weeks who had antenatal care and delivery at BAH. DM screening was randomized blood sugar obtained from all participants. All participants underwent fetal heart exams by four-dimension ultrasound with STIC M-mode. Results One hundred and forty-five participants were recruited and classified as pregestational (PDM) and gestational DM (GDM) at 31 and 114 cases, respectively. The mean age of participants was 31.7 years old. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) of PDM was significantly higher than GDM (105.1 vs 87.0 mg%). GDMA2 had more elevated FBS than GDMA1 (p < 0.001). PDM had significantly greater FBS and two-hour postprandial blood sugar (2hr-PP) than GDM (105.1/87.0 and 151.5/117.9 mg%, respectively). FBS and 2hr-PP of GDMA2 were more than GDMA1 with statistical significance. Good glycemic control of GDM was significantly better than PDM. GDMA1 had better glycemic control than GDMA2 with statistical significance. Four-fifth (115/145) of participants had FMH. FMH and estimated fetal weight among PDM and GDM were comparable. Both good and poor glycemic control had similar FMH. Neonatal outcomes of FMH or non-FMH infants were similar. Conclusion The prevalence of FMH in diabetic pregnant women was 79.3%. Glycemic control had no correlation to FMH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pregestational diabetes mellitus and its associated risks may be increasing in the obstetrical population. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to characterize the trends in delivery hospitalizations with pregestational diabetes mellitus, the prevalence of chronic diabetes complications, and the risk for adverse outcomes. STUDY DESIGN This repeated, cross-sectional study used the United States National Inpatient Sample to identify delivery hospitalizations with pregestational diabetes mellitus between 2000 and 2019. Trends in delivery hospitalizations with pregestational diabetes mellitus were assessed using joinpoint regression to determine the average annual percent change. Trends in chronic diabetes complications, including chronic kidney disease, neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, and diabetic retinopathy, were also analyzed. The risk for adverse obstetrical outcomes was compared between patients with and those without pregestational diabetes mellitus using adjusted logistic regression models that were adjusted for demographic, clinical, and hospital characteristics with adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals as measures of association. RESULTS Of 76.7 million delivery hospitalizations, 179,885 (0.23%) had type 1 diabetes mellitus, 430,544 (0.56%) had type 2 diabetes mellitus, and 99,327 (0.13%) had unspecified diabetes mellitus. From 2000 to 2019, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased from 1.8 to 7.3 per 1000 deliveries for type 2 diabetes mellitus (average annual percent change, 8.0%; 95% confidence interval, 6.9%-9.2%), from 1.5 to 3.2 per 1000 deliveries for unspecified diabetes mellitus (average annual percent change, 3.9%; 95% confidence interval, 1.4%-6.3%), and from 2.7 in 2000 to 2.8 per 1000 deliveries (average annual percent change, 0.2%; 95% confidence interval, -0.8% to 1.3%) for type 1 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of chronic diabetes mellitus complications increased from 2.7% to 5.6% over the study period (average annual percent change, 5.9%; 95% confidence interval, 3.7%-8.0%). Pregestational diabetes mellitus was associated with severe maternal morbidity, cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm birth, and shoulder dystocia. CONCLUSION Pregestational diabetes mellitus increased over the study period, driven by a quadrupling in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Notably, the prevalence of chronic diabetes mellitus complications doubled concomitantly. Pregestational diabetes mellitus was associated with a range of adverse outcomes. These findings are further evidence that pregestational diabetes mellitus is an important contributor to maternal risk and that optimizing diabetes care in women of childbearing age will continue to be of major public health importance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES An attempt was made to demonstrate the superiority of the treatment model using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) over multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin in achieving a successful pregnancy outcome and good newborn's condition in patients with type 1 diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 297 infants born to type 1 diabetic patients; 175 patients were treated with MDI and 122 with CSII. Maternal metabolic control during pregnancy, gestational weight gain, insulin requirements, pregnancy outcome and neonatal status were compared between MDI and CSII arm. The composite adverse neonatal outcome was diagnosed if at least one of the following was found: abnormal birth weight (LGA or SGA), congenital malformation, miscarriage, intrauterine fetal death, emergency CS due to fetal risk, iatrogenic prematurity, RDS, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and the postpartum pH in the umbilical artery ≤ 7.1. RESULTS The studied groups did not differ regarding gestational week at delivery, a proportion of births at full term, preterm births, miscarriages, or late pregnancy losses (intrauterine fetal death > 22 weeks). Newborns of mothers treated with CSII showed lower incidence of neonatal complications (composite adverse neonatal outcome) compared to those of mothers treated with MDI (60% vs 74%, respectively; p = 0.01). We did not find any association between the mode of treatment and composite adverse maternal outcome. CONCLUSIONS The use of CSII in the treatment of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes was associated with reduced number of neonatal complications presented as neonatal composite outcome but had no influence on maternal outcome.

Abstract
Ketone bodies are one of the products of fat metabolism which can be used as an alternative energy source for the human body in states of glucose deficiency. Normal pregnant women may develop ketosis due to physiological changes during pregnancy, while pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism are more likely to develop ketosis due to abnormal insulin secretion. Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that exposure to high-ketone environments during pregnancy is closely related to adverse maternal and infant outcomes. However, there is no unified conclusion on whether ketone bodies should be routinely monitored during pregnancy. This review summarizes the existing studies on ketone body levels and pregnancy outcomes in the case of abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy, elaborates the current guidelines on the level of ketone bodies, provides the detection and treatment of ketosis in pregnant women with abnormal blood glucose in the clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of early breastfeeding (eBF) or early formula feeding (eFF) on hypoglycemia and on BF initiation in infants born to women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) who intended to BF. METHODS Retrospective cohort investigation of 554 women with PGDM and their infants (IDMs) who delivered during 2008-2016. The first feeding (BF or FF) was considered early if given within 4 hours from birth. RESULTS 282 (51%) IDMs were admitted to the Well Baby Nursery. Of the 134 IDMs whose early feeding was BF, hypoglycemia affected 30% which was corrected with oral feedings in 78% of the cases. At discharge, 49% BF exclusively while 45% BF partially. Of the 148 IDMs whose early feeding was FF, hypoglycemia affected 40% which was corrected with oral feedings in 69% of the cases. At discharge, 14% BF exclusively while 48% BF partially. There were 272 (49%) IDMs admitted to the NICU. Their early feeding was BF (14%) and FF (86%). Hypoglycemia developed in 50% and 43% of these groups, respectively. Benefits of early feedings on hypoglycemia were masked by the routine use of IV dextrose infusions. At discharge, early BF led to exclusive BF in 45% and partial BF in 50% of the cases. Early FF led to exclusive BF in 17% and partial BF in 42% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS Early and continued feeding (BF preferably or FF if BF is not feasible) should be the first line of treatment for hypoglycemia. Early BF is paramount for BF initiation. Early FF is an obstacle, albeit not absolute, to BF initiation, thus it should not deter continued efforts to start or resume BF.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that diabetes mellitus impairs placental development, but the mechanism by which the disease operates to impair development remains controversial. In this study, we demonstrated that pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM)-induced defects in placental development in mice are mainly characterized by the changes of morphological structure of placenta. The alteration of differentiation-related gene expressions in trophoblast cells rather than cell proliferation/apoptosis is responsible for the phenotypes found in mouse placenta. Meanwhile, excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and activated nuclear factor erythroid2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signalling were observed in the placenta of mice suffering from PGDM. Using BeWo cells, we also demonstrated that excess ROS was produced and Nrf2 signalling molecules were activated in settings characterized by a high concentration of glucose. More interestingly, differentiation-related gene expressions in trophoblast cells were altered when endogenous Nrf2 expression is manipulated by transfecting Nrf2-wt or Nrf2-shRNA. In addition, PGDM interferes with autophagy in both mouse placenta and BeWo cells, implying that autophagy is also involved, directly or indirectly, in PGDM-induced placental phenotypes. Therefore, we revealed that dysfunctional oxidative stress-activated Nrf2 signalling and autophagy are probably responsible for PGDM-induced defects in the placental development of mice. The mechanism was through the interference with differentiation-related gene expression in trophoblast cells.

Abstract
AIM The aim of study was to compare some perinatal outcomes in mothers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients with T1DM delivered at the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University in Bratislava from January 1st 2009 to December 31th 2015 were included to the study. RESULTS Out of 118 diabetic mothers, 46.6 % had vasculopathy and 53. 4 % were without microvascular complications. In the vasculopathy group, significantly higher incidence rates of preeclampsia (49. 1 versus 19.1 %; p = 0.002) and caesarean section (89.1 versus 68.3 %; p = 0.017) were found. Neonatal morbidity and mortality rates were higher in vasculopathy group (but not statistically significantly). Preparation for pregnancy improves perinatal and neonatal results. Nevertheless, this preparation in our study group was received only in 9.3 %. Perinatal mortality was 25.4 per 1,000 total births. CONCLUSION For pregnancy of diabetic women to become possible a qualified management must be provided. Good outcomes for both women and newborns are real when preparation for pregnancy and metabolic control before and during whole pregnancy are at adequate level (Tab. 3, Ref. 28).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of pregnancies complicated by twinning and diabetes is increasing in the UK. This is a worrying trend as both diabetes and twin gestations are associated with a high risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The few studies that have specifically addressed how twinning and pregestational diabetes in the same pregnancy may affect outcome have reported conflicting results. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed data on 27 women with a twin pregnancy and pregestational diabetes (54 babies) and 6407 women with a twin pregnancy without diabetes (12 814 babies) from the Northern Survey of Twin and Multiple Pregnancy during 1998-2010. A composite adverse pregnancy outcome (comprising fetal loss before 24 weeks, termination of pregnancy, stillbirth, infant death or any major congenital anomaly), extended perinatal mortality (stillbirths and neonatal deaths) and major congenital anomaly were the main outcome measures. Adjusted rate ratios were estimated using generalized estimating equations for Poisson regression controlling for potential confounders. RESULTS Mothers with twin pregnancies with diabetes were older (p = 0.001) and had higher body mass indices (p < 0.0001) than those without diabetes. Their twins were more likely to be delivered earlier (p = 0.026), be delivered by cesarean section (80.4% vs. 49.7%; p < 0.0001), be large-for-gestational-age (p < 0.0001) and require admission to a special care baby unit (p < 0.0001). Pregestational diabetes was associated with significantly increased rates of the composite adverse outcome and major congenital anomalies in twins (adjusted rate ratios 2.66, 95% confidence interval 1.14-6.20 and adjusted rate ratios 3.51, 95% confidence interval 1.31-9.40, respectively). CONCLUSION Maternal pregestational diabetes in twin pregnancies is associated with a significantly increased risk of an adverse pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
AIMS This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness and safety of insulin aspart in patients with gestational and pregestational diabetes. SETTINGS AND DESIGN An open-label, prospective, nonrandomized, comparative, and observational study conducted at single center in India. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 276 patients were in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) group, 79 were in the pre-GDM group. Patients were started on insulin therapy (insulin aspart ± neutral protamine hagedorn) once medical nutrition therapy for 2 weeks failed to achieve control, that is., fasting plasma glucose ≥90 mg/dL and/or 1.0 h postprandial plasma glucose ≥130 mg/dL. Insulin dose was titrated to keep the blood glucose values between 90 and 130 mg/dL. Patients were followed once every 4 weeks until the 28(th) week, then once every 2 weeks until 32(nd) week, then once every week until delivery, and the final visit was on 60 ± 7 days. The final outcome was assessed in terms of incidence of macrosomia (>3.5 kg body weight) between the two groups and episodes of confirmed (blood glucose <56 mg/dL) minor or major maternal hypoglycemia. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference among the two groups in terms of incidence of macrosomia that is., it was 5.1%, 8.9% in GDM, pre-GDM group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Insulin aspart was found safe in pregnancy, however, more studies with double-blind, standard controlled studies are required to confirm the findings of this study.
