Abstract

Diabetes is the most frequent medical consequence of pregnancy. Women with diabetes can be divided into two categories, diabetes before pregnancy - Pregestational or Overt, and those diagnosed during pregnancy-Gestational Diabetes. In the early 1900s, overt diabetes complicated a mother and her child's horrifying morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. Although tremendously mitigated by the discovery of insulin, overt and gestational diabetes still are formidable complications of pregnancy
