In pregnant women, appropriate eating habits has a key role to play in the development of the foetus and is also related with the amount of labour at delivery, helping to avoid complications. In addition, correct nutrition is also necessary during the puerperium to encourage breast feeding and provide the new-born child with an adequate nutritional status without leading to any deficits in the mother.

We have studied 22 diabetic patients, 14 type I and 8 type II, in order to determine if there is a correlation between metabolic control and pancreatic reserve of insulin. All the patients were treated with optimum doses of bolus/basal insulin. They underwent a peptide C test (at baseline and after 3 stimulus with glucagon) and every month, during 3 months, HbA1c and fructosamine were measured, with monthly self control of glycemia. Both HbA1c and fructosamine showed a statistically significant improvement during the study. In all the cases, there was a negative correlation between metabolic control and pancreatic reserve, with statistical significance for type I, especially regarding the response of peptide C to the administration of glucagon. We conclude that the preservation of a good endogenous secretion of insulin benefits the metabolic control of diabetes.
