The number of people worldwide who are obese and diabetic has increased in all age and ethnic groups. Obesity and diabetes have implications for all aspects of maternal/fetal health and outcome during pregnancy with short and long-term ramifications. Liberal pharmacological therapy, relative weight gain restriction in comparison to non-obese diabetic women, improved lifestyle changes, and achievement of targeted levels of glycemic control can mitigate pregnancy complications and result in improved pregnancy outcome.
