Abstract

We report the case of a young woman who was diagnosed with monogenic diabetes caused by a glucokinase gene mutation during the third trimester of pregnancy, requiring a change in treatment plan in comparison with her previous pregnancies. We also discuss the implications for obstetric management in patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young, type 2 (MODY-2).
