Pregnancy with diabetes

Diabetes is a common endocrine and metabolic disease with a certain genetic predisposition and an unclear etiology. Its basic pathophysiological changes are metabolic disorders such as sugar, protein, fat, water and electrolytes caused by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin, which is characterized by "hyperglycemia". There are also some diseases with hyperglycemia, called symptomatic diabetes or secondary diabetes, which account for only a very small number, such as pancreatitis, post-pancreatectomy, acromegaly, and Cushing's syndrome.
