Study Design: This prospective study included 557 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes and 149 pregnant women with type 2 diabetes that gave birth in the Clinic for Diabetes in Pregnancy in Zagreb, from January 2000 to December 2012. Results: Women with type 2 diabetes were significantly older than women with type 1 diabetes (p < 0.003;32.8 ± 5.5 versus 29.3 ± 3.2) and they have significantly higher BMI compared to type 1 diabetes (P < 0.001;29.2 ± 6.5 versus 23.5 ± 3.8). Comparing their delivery patterns, women with type 1 diabetes were significantly more likely to give birth by caesarean section than women with type 2 diabetes (p < 0.001;466 versus 82). The offspring of women with type 1 diabetes were more likely to be delivered preterm in comparison with offspring of women with type 2 diabetes (109 versus 31). Macrosomia is recognized characteristic of pregnancies complicated by diabetes and its incidence was significantly higher in women with type 1 diabetes compared to women with type 2 diabetes (p < 0.035;174 versus 38). Neonatal malformations were higher in women with type 1 vs. type 2 diabetes (12 versus 7), but not statistically significant. Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were statistically significantly higher in the first trimester (8.02% v. 6.72%), second (7.55% versus 6.27%) and third trimester (7.40% versus 6.03%) in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes that gave birth to neonates with congenital malformations. Perinatal mortality was higher in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes than in women with type 2 diabetes (4 versus 2) but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Comparing perinatal mortality and frequency of congenital malformations in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, we didn’t find any important statistical differences. There is no significant difference in complication for babies of women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and it is likely that the most important causative factor is a high maternal blood glucose concentration.展开更多
