Abstract

In pregnancy, the complications induced by pregestational and gestational diabetes are multiple. They include alterations that can affect the early embryo and lead to implantation failures, anomalies in early organogenesis processes that increase the risk of congenital malformations and failures in the placental development processes that can be linked both to the greater induction of preeclampsia and to intrauterine growth anomalies (growth retardation or macrosomia) that affect perinatal and postnatal development. In this context, the metabolic alterations characteristic of maternal diabetes are relevant, both the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids, and which will impact the transfer of nutrients to the fetus and affect fetal development and growth. The adverse consequences occur in the mother (where the complications of diabetes are compounded by the strong impact of the adaptive changes of pregnancy), in embryonic, placental and fetal development, in perinatal complications and in the life of the mother. neonate, in which the risk of programming metabolic and cardiovascular alterations is high.
