To examine the relationship between fetal glycaemic control and macrosomia or neonatal hypoglycaemia, we measured umbilical cord glycosylated haemoglobin (GHb) by affinity chromatography in 44 diabetic and 40 normal pregnancies. Levels of GHb in cord blood were not significantly different between these two groups, suggesting good maternal glycaemic control was achieved in the diabetic patients. Moreover in the diabetic pregnancies, cord GHb levels did not differ in infants who were macrosomic or developed hypoglycaemia by comparison with those infants who showed neither phenomenon. We conclude that overall fetal glycaemic control in the 4-6 week period prior to delivery does not appear to influence these common neonatal complications of diabetic pregnancy.

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.
