Brief Summary: Determine spectrum of clinical presentations and complications associated with maternal diabetes mellitus in their newborns attending and admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Assiut University Children's Hospital.
Detailed Description: The global incidence of diabetes mellitus including diabetes of pregnant women is on the rise .

Diabetes during pregnancy has been associated with several maternal and fetal problems .

Diabetes during pregnancy include gestational diabetes which is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of varying degrees with hyperglycemia starting during pregnancy ,generally develops in the second half of pregnancy .

While pregestational diabetes is the condition in which a woman with diabetes ( type 1 or commonly type 2 ) before the onset of pregnancy .

Both gestational and pregestational diabetes are associated with increased rates of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes . Adverse outcomes are more common with pregestational diabetes compared to gestational diabetes mellitus ; although , conflicting results have been reported .

Inspite the huge progress in the treatment of diabetes mellitus , Investigators are still in the situation that both gestational and pregestational diabetes impose an additional risk to the embryo , fetus , and course of pregnancy Pregestational diabetes mellitus increases the rate of congenital malformations , especially cardiac such as Patent foramen ovale , hypertrophic cardiomyopathy , Atrial septal defect , ventricular septal defect .

Fetal macrosomia is a common adverse effect on the infant outcomes . It increases the risk of shoulder dystocia , clavicle fractures , brachial plexus injury , which increase the rate of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit .

This infant may experience asphyxia , respiratory distress , hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia , hyperinsulinemia , hypocalcemia , hypomagnesemia , hyperbilirubinemia , polycythemia and anemia .

Caudal regression syndrome , anencephaly , microcephaly , hydrocephalus , spina bifida are also complications of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy .

Both gestational and pregestational diabetes may also cause various motor and behaviouralneurodevelopmental problems including an increased incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder .

It has been found that there is increased rate of obesity , impaired glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus in the childhood and adolescence .

Mechanisms of diabetic induced damage in pregnancyare related to maternal and fetal hyperglycemia ,enhanced oxidation status , epigenetic changes and other less defined pathogenic mechanisms .

Uncontrolled diabetes has profound effects on embryogenesis , organogenesis , and fetal and neonatal growth .

The severity of complications is higher with earlier onset of gestational diabetes mellitus and inversely correlated with the degree of glycemic control .

Early initiation of gestational diabetes mellitus might even cause some increase in the rate of congenital malformations .

Tight glycemic control prior to conception and during pregnancy can prevent an excess rate of congenital malformations ,macrosomia , birth trauma and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome .
