“…The Join clinic reported an incidence of 31% respiratory distress syndrome in infants of diabetic women declining to an average of 5.5% in the same clinic with better glycaemic control. 16,17 The result of this study confirms that there is increased maternal and foetal morbidity in terms of caesarean section rate, preterm delivery rate and other neonatal complications.…”

“…Diabetic pregnancy may affect lung liquid clearance leading to respiratory distress (Gellis & Hsia, 1959;Robert et al, 1976). The present study indicates that insulin stimulates the bumetanide-sensitive Na + /K + /2Cl − cotransporter, which contributes to lung fluid secretion, suggesting that hyperinsulinemia occurring in diabetic pregnancy can contribute to respiratory distress via the action of insulin on the cotransporter.…”
