II. Precautions

  1. Data listed is from studies that predated current aggressive Gestational Diabetes Management
  2. Current guideline-based Gestational Diabetes Management has dramatically reduced perinatal mortality

  1. General
    1. Overall Gestational Diabetes Perinatal Mortality: 16.3%
    2. Gestational Diabetic Ketoacidosis confers 50-80% perinatal mortality
  2. American Study (1972)
    1. Glucose <100: Perinatal mortality 3.4%
    2. Glucose 101-150: Perinatal mortality 16%
    3. Glucose >150: Perinatal mortality 24%
  3. British Study (1965)
    1. Glucose <150: Perinatal mortality 7.6%
    2. Glucose 151-200: Perinatal mortality 21%
    3. Glucose >200: Perinatal mortality 38%

IV. Classification: White's Classification of Diabetes (Mortality 1946-72)
