Blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin levels measured at delivery in 27 normal and 19 diabetic women were compared with those of the corresponding fetuses and their birthweights. In both groups, neonatal blood glucose levels were significantly higher (p much less than 0.001) than the maternal levels despite significantly lower (p much less than 0.001) glycosylated haemoglobin values in the neonates. In the control group, there was a significant correlation of maternal glycosylated haemoglobin with both cord glycosylated haemoglobin and birthweight ratio (p less than 0.01). The same was not obtained in the diabetic group, suggesting a dissociation in glucose homeostasis between the diabetic pregnant mother and her fetus.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011254 Pregnancy in Diabetics The state of PREGNANCY in women with DIABETES MELLITUS. This does not include either symptomatic diabetes or GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE induced by pregnancy (DIABETES, GESTATIONAL) which resolves at the end of pregnancy.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
