ABSTRACT
Hyperglycemia is the diagnostic feature of diabetes mellitus (DM), and during pregnancy, hyperglycemia has numerous serious implications for organogenesis and fetal growth. Each type of DM has different neonatal implications based on pathogenesis, length of disease, and comorbidities. Currently, limited attention is given to the woman's type of DM when evaluating risks for neonates. The diagnosis of infant of a diabetic mother is not sufficient because of the varying pathophysiology of diabetes classifications and associated neonatal outcomes. By expanding the diagnosis to include the woman's classification and glucose control, maternity and neonatal care providers could develop plans of care based on potential neonatal outcomes, including anticipatory guidance for families. In this commentary, we propose a more specific diagnosis, rather than infant of a diabetic mother, to better serve these infants.
