The paper compares how, in the conditions of long observed rule of relative pregnancy length, the length of pregnancy of women with insulin-dependent diabetes is maintained depending on the ways of treating and controlling diabetes. The observations were taken during two periods. In the years 1980-1986 71 women were treated with insulin in traditional way--without constant monitoring of pregnancy, and from 1987-1992 in 232 women intensive pregnancy monitoring and conventional insulin therapy were used. This treatment allowed to achieve proper stabilizing of diabetes, to prolong pregnancy for 12 days and to improve the newborns condition while keeping the same indications for cesarean-section and other ways of delivery and with the same frequency of spontaneous birth. In addition the number of premature births was decreased four times. From 53.5% in the first period to 12% in the second. |
