Study: Diabetic women more likely to have stillborn baby
She said, "We don't know the answer to this. The optimal timing of delivery in such pregnancies is not clear." Mothers with type 1 diabetes were more than three times likely to deliver a stillborn child, while those with type 2 were at least four times likely. Stillbirth rates were 16.1 per 1,000 births in the women with type 1 diabetes and 22.9 per 1,000 births in type 2 diabetes, compared with 4.9 per 1,000 births in the general population.
Women with type 1 who had stillbirths had higher than average blood sugar levels throughout their pregnancy, while pre-pregnancy levels were a more important predictor of stillbirth in those with type 2. Babies with the highest and lowest birth weights were most at risk, the study published in the Diabetologia journal, found.
Dr Emily Burns, head of research communications at Diabetes UK, said, "Most women with diabetes have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies, but this research reinforces the importance of supporting women to manage their blood glucose levels if they are planning a pregnancy, in order to reduce their risk of complications as much as possible.
Dr Burns said, "It also suggests that losing extra weight, for women with type 2 diabetes who are overweight, could help to reduce this risk as well. We need research to find better ways of predicting who is most at risk of complications during pregnancy, to ensure support can be provided to those who need it most."
