The authors have evaluated seven years' period of the intensive care of pregnant women suffering from diabetes mellitus. In the analysed period 175 patients suffering from diabetes gave birth to babies, and that was 0.69% of all the labours. The most frequent type of diabetes was gestational diabetes mellitus (53.7%), and diabetes of B type (23.5). Diabetes of G-1 type occurred in as many as 44% of the examined women. In the tested group of women the indication to conducting a cesarean section occurred in 16.6% of cases. It was found that the babies born by the mothers suffering from diabetes had in their early neonatal period the following biochemical disorders: hypoglycemia--37.7%, hyperbilirubinemia--17.4%, anemia--8.7% and hypocalcemia--5.8% of cases. Monitoring of pregnancy, the time and the way of its termination should be selected individually for each women suffering from diabetes mellitus.
