Objectives: Diabetes is a disease that effects fetal development during pregnancy and leads metabolic disorders in newborns. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the problems of infants of diabetic mothers and to determine risk factors of mothers during pregnancy. Material and Methods: The morbidity rates of 31 infants of diabetic mothers who were born and followed in neonatal intensive unit between January 2013 and December 2013 at Gaziosmanpasa University and demographic properties of mothers were retrospectively evaluated. Results: A total of 31 infants were included. The incidence of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was %22,6 and the incidence of gestational diabetes was 77,4%. Mothers’ mean age was 32,6±7,9 years and HbA1c level was 5,4±1 (4,2-10,2). The mean gestational age of infants was 37,5±1,5 weeks and the mean birth weight of infants was 3322,5± 695,8 g. Macrosomia was present in 32.2% of infants. Hypoglycemia was present in 9,7% of infants, hypocalcemia was seen 3.2%, polycytemia was seen 6.5%, anemia was seen 6.5%, thrombocytopenia was seen 9.2%, hyperbilirubinemia was seen 41.9%, respiratory distress syndrome was seen 12.9%, congenital anomaly was seen 3.7% of all infants. There was no correlation between HbA1c levels of mothers and hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, anemia and respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: Many complications may be prevented with appropriate management, obstetric care and neonatal management in infants of diabetic mother. It is possible to reduce morbidities with the identification of gestational diabetes and metabolic control of hyperglycemia, the determination of risk factors, the close contact between the diabetic mother and her infant in the first hours of delivery and the close follow-up of infants of diabetic mothers with rooming-in who do not need neonatal intensive care unit care.
