Zusammenfassung:Maternal and Fetal Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK. Women's Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Headington, Oxford OX3 9DU, UK (corresponding author). Diabetes is the most common medical disorder of pregnancy and the incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing. Although pregnancy outcomes have improved for both mother and baby over past decades, much needs to be done to reach the aspiration of similar outcomes to nondiabetic pregnancies, which many believe to be a realistic goal. Improvements can be achieved through better multidisciplinary management, although the best approach to gestational diabetes remains controversial.
