Results demonstrates that cord blood insulin and leptin levels are increased in infants of uncontrolled diabetics more than infants of controlled diabetics and infants of nondiabetic controls.Also, significant increase in body weight, length, body mass index in infants of uncontrolled diabetics more than infants of controlled diabetic and infants of nondiabetic controls was found.No significant difference were found between male and female infants of all groups.
