Diabetes may manifest itself for the first time in pregnancy, or much more commonly, a diabetic women may become pregnant. Usually diabetes is a disease of the later life, which might account for the low incidence in pregnancy. However diabetes may also occur in the younger age group, when it is usually very sensitive to insulin. The patients are rather thin and tendency to ketosis is more marked. In the older age group the patients are more on the stout side, the tendency to ketosis is less and diabetes may occasionally be insulin resistant. Pregnancy can occur in both these types, but more often it is seen in the latter type.
