It has been our privilege to edit this volume which is
complementary to the first book on Carbohydrate Metabolism in
Pregnancy and the Newborn and which is based on work presented at
the 2nd Aberdeen Colloquium bearing the same title held in April,
1978. The growth of knowledge of this subject in the 5-year period
since the 1st Aber- deen Colloquium in 1973 is truly remarkable and
fully justifies this second exposition of current ideas in this
field at the present time. For example, the 1973 meeting failed to
cover such recent to- pics as H. L. A. typing, glycosylated
haemoglobin, control of glycae- mia in labour with the use of the
artificial pancreas, fetal brea- thing and pregnancy specific
B-glycoprotein and this volume provi- des such an opportunity. The
scope of this book is broader and in- cludes data on placenta and
fetal congenital anomaly related to ma- ternal diabetes and many
aspects of birthweight while there is also a section on maternal
weight and nutrition in pregnancy. In a wider prospective one of
the stimuli for such work has been the impetus given by the regular
meetings starting in 1969 of the Diabetic Preg- nancy Study Group
of the European Association for the Study of Dia- betes. This has
allowed much more effective integration of research on diabetic
pregnancy. The work of the members of the Diabetic Preg- nency
Study Group is widely represented in this publication.
