Abstract
Principles of neonatal care for newborns of mothers with GDM are the same as for newborns of mothers with another type of diabetes mellitus. Unlike pregestačně resulting from diabetes in this diagnosis we do not encounter with diabetic embryopathy, but with different clinical and laboratory expressed diabetic fetopathy newborn.
Postnatal adaptation is increasingly compromised is thus a clearly defined risk population. The intensity of individual symptoms in the newborn depends on both the duration and quality of compensation GDM.
Prognosis is unfavorable not only long-term hyperglycemia mother, but also significant variation in blood glucose levels (1). The recommended procedure does not apply to newborns of women with GDM low risk that are well compensated on a diet, and pharmacotherapy do not have sonographically verify eutrophic fetuses.
For these newborns is required specialized post-natal care.
