ABSTRACT

In Cuba there is an important activity of diabetes and pregnancy, and there is a national program in this regard. The Second Cuban Consensus on Diabetes and Pregnancy was held in April 2017 with the aim of updating the most important aspects related to these 2 elements, for which 6 work commissions were established: Preconceptional care for women with pre-pregnancy diabetes, Screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes, Dietary treatment of pregnant women with diabetes, Obstetric and metabolic management of pregnant women with diabetes, and Follow-up and postpartum risk of women with diabetes. Among other aspects, these were approved: the possibility of diagnosing diabetes at the beginning of pregnancy, the search for gestational diabetes with a diagnostic test at week 26, the use of metformin during pregnancy and the Hadlock curves to determine fetal weight; and a diabetes screening algorithm for women who have had gestational diabetes.
