GCK‐MODY in pregnancy: A pregnant woman with diabetes and a small‐for‐gestational‐age fetus

Glucokinase‐maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (GCK‐MODY) is often misdiagnosed as other forms of diabetes.

Description
Summary:Glucokinase‐maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (GCK‐MODY) is often misdiagnosed as other forms of diabetes. A 42‐year‐old pregnant lady with pre‐existing diabetes was treated with insulin during first trimester. Fetal growth restriction was noted since mid‐second trimester. Genetic testing suggested the diagnosis of GCK‐MODY. Glucokinase‐maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (GCK‐MODY) is under‐diagnosed. Patients with family history of young, non‐obese, and insulin‐independent diabetes should alert clinicians of the possibility of GCK‐MODY. It is important to diagnose timely, especially during pregnancy.
