Emedinews:Dr Good Dr Bad:A pregnant female had glucose intolerance


Dr Good Dr Bad
Situation: A pregnant female had glucose intolerance.
Dr Bad: It will not affect your child.
Dr Good: Your child may be susceptible to type 2 diabetes.
Lesson: Maternal glucose intolerance may impair fetal insulin sensitivity (but not beta cell function), and consequently ‘program’ the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes.
