Babies of women with diabetes are nearly five times more likely to
be stillborn and almost three times more likely to die in the first
three months. The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus in the
U.S. is high-between 3 and 7 percent-and rising. The condition is
often complicated by other risk factors such as obesity and heart
disease. The Textbook of Diabetes and Pregnancy presents a
comprehensive review of the science, clinical management, and
medical implications of gestational diabetes mellitus, a condition
with serious consequences that is on the increase in all developed
societies. This new edition supports the latest initiatives and
strategies of the International Federation of Gynecology and
Obstetrics (FIGO) and adds chapters on noncommunicable diseases,
obesity, bariatric surgery, and epidemiology outside Western
cultures. Written by a cadre of experts, the book provides a
comprehensive, authoritative, and international view of gestational
diabetes mellitus and will be invaluable to maternal-fetal medicine
specialists, diabetologists, neonatologists, and a growing number
of gynecologists and general physicians concerned with the
management of noncommunicable diseases in pregnancy.
