Nephropathy and proliferative retinopathy are widely known as the most serious complications of diabetes. In the paper the analysis of the course of pregnancy, labour and neonatal complications among mothers with White class F, R, FR and T was made. The study group consisted of 44 patients. Primary hypertension was observed in 17 (38.6%) patients. The percentage of complications both maternal and neonatal was very high. Among maternal complications were pregnancy induced hypertension (43.2%), urinary tract infections (36%), anaemia (22.7%), threatened preterm labor (13.6%). Nearly 50% of patients has diurnal proteinuria in nearly 50% of patients exceed 3 g. In the opinion of the authors there is a strong need to establish the national supraregional centers designed specially to deal with the problems of pregnant women with diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy.
