Abstract

Every practitioner who cares for adolescent and young adult diabetic women has an obligation to recognize that these women may become pregnant, that pregnancy poses serious risks to mother and offspring, that most of these risks are related to poor glycaemic control, and that the risks may be reduced through special programs that achieve meticulous metabolic control before conception and throughout pregnancy.
