Diabetic twin pregnancy: an unequal result
Lancet (London, England)
|June 30, 1979
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 control but also on fetal blood-supply or genetic factors.
