This is a retrospective review of all PPG work on glycemic control at different pregnancy time points and its association with embryonic, fetal, and neonatal complications, such as congenital malformations (CMs), intrauterine growth restriction, macrosomia, hypoglycemia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), asphyxia, and polycythemia. We found that maternal vasculopathy and poor glycemic control during embryogenesis, but not frequency of maternal hypoglycemic episodes or insulin therapy, are independent risk factors for major CMs. A suggestive association of major CMs with maternal Magnesium deficiency was also observed. Poor glycemic control during late embryogenesis and early fetal development was associated with an increased risk of minor CMs. We described a biphasic pattern of fetal growth whereby early growth delay was followed by enhanced fetal growth associated with neonatal macrosomia. Macrosomia was associated with poorer glycemic control in the third trimester and an increased risk of birth trauma. Macrosomia was also correlated with animal-origin insulin concentrations in cord blood, demonstrating that insulin bound to antibodies can cross the placenta and may affect the fetus. We also showed that neonatal hypoglycemia was significantly associated with third-trimester glycemic control, in addition to hyperglycemia occurring during labor. With modern management and adequate prenatal care, IDMs are no longer at increased risk for RDS. Perinatal asphyxia was associated with increased proteinuria appearing in pregnancy, maternal hyperglycemia before delivery, and prematurity. Polycythemia in IDMs is prevalent and correlates with proxy measurements of fetal hypoxemia (nucleated red blood cells at delivery) and poorer glycemic control in late pregnancy. The PPG in its various phases revealed the important role of glycemic control at nearly every stage of pregnancy including labor.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Key Points\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2382-7397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]],"date-time":"2024-08-08T23:38:46Z","timestamp":1723160326000},"page":"420-427","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Embryonic, Fetal, and Neonatal Complications in Infants of Diabetic Mothers: Insights from the Cincinnati Diabetes in Pregnancy Program Project Grant"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Francis B.","family":"Mimouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Research Institute, Leumit Health Services, and the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jane C.","family":"Khoury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio"},{"name":"Division of Endocrinology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shelley","family":"Ehrlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio"},{"name":"Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences, University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barak M.","family":"Rosenn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jersey City Medical Center, Jersey City, New Jersey"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Health, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Galit","family":"Sheffer-Mimouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Research Institute, Leumit Health Services, and the Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Menachem","family":"Miodovnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Maternal\u2013Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inova Health System, Fairfax, Virginia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"08","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1111","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(84)90637-9","article-title":"High malformation rates and decreased mortality in infants of diabetic mothers managed after the first trimester of pregnancy (1956-1978)","volume":"148","author":"J L Ballard","year":"1984","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"713","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.11.9.713","article-title":"Major malformations in infants of IDDM women.
