Abstract
Aim: The current therapeutic strategies to reduce macrosomia rates in gestational diabetes (GDM) have focused on the normalizing of maternal glucose levels. The aim of our study was 1.) to compare maternal glycemic values with the presence of fetal macrosomia at different gestational ages (GA) and with LGA at birth in a cohort of women with glucose intolerance and standard diabetic therapy.Keywords
