Product Description
Babies of women with diabetes are nearly five times more likely to be stillborn; are almost three times more likely to die in the first three months; and twice as many are born with major congenital malformations. The incidence is high - somewhere between 3 and 7 per cent of all pregnant women in the USA have diabetes - and rising; the condition is often complicated by other risk-factors such as obesity and heart disease. This major book gives a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, science and clinical management of gestation diabetes. Fully updated and revised, it contains new chapters on: Fetal growth in normal and diabetic pregnancies; Genetics; Congenital anomalies; Exercise; Pharmacological management; Insulin pump therapy; Hypoglycemia; The role of ultrasound for timing of delivery; Thyroid and pregnancy; Fetal origins of adult disease; Metabolic syndrome and diabetes following gestational diabetes mellitus; Psychological and social aspects The book provides a comprehensive, authoritative, international view of these difficult pregnancies and will be invaluable to maternal-fetal medicine specialists, diabetologists, neonatologists, and basic scientists working in the field.
