Abstrakt: An increased placental weight has been reported in pregnancies complicated with gestational diabetes (GDM). We have analysed foetal (F) and placental weight (P) and foetal length in 143 consecutive normal (N) and 132 GDM pregnancies in relation to type of treatment and to a number of maternal variables. All N pregnancies had a negative oral glucose challenge test at 24–28 weeks. GDM was diagnosed at 28–32 weeks by a 100-gm, 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Treatment was diet (D: n=82) or diet plus insulin (D+I: n=50) according to self-monitoring of blood glucose.
