Diabetic twin pregnancy: an unequal result

A diabetic mother produced twins dissimilar in both appearance and blood biochemistry--one being clearly macrosomic and "hyperinsulinised" at delivery, the other apparently normal. It is suggested that the development of fetal hyperinsulinism may depend not only on maternal blood-glucose c...
