Increased risk of admission to neonatal intensive care unit in neonates born to mothers with pregestational diabetes
• A higher proportion of neonates born to T2DM mothers were admitted due to severe/refractory hypoglycemia, however hypoglycemia was detected after admission in many neonates transferred to NICU for other reasons. It remains a significant risk and requires vigilance of all neonates born to mothers with pregestational or gestational diabetes. • Mothers with pre-gestational diabetes were more likely to be discharged home while their infant remains in NICU.
