In this retrospective study, we have compared minor birth outcomes among women who were diagnosed with GDM, DM, and who were normal. Significant differences in all minor birth outcome variables were observed. Dose relationships in birth weight, % macrosomia, cesarian rate, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, polycythemia, cord c-peptide and glucose were highest in DM patients and followed by GDM patients, then normal individuals. This epidemiologic study clearly shows adverse health effects of diabetes on perinatal health.
