"Pregnant women with diabetes are three to four times more likely to give birth to an infant with a birth defect than other pregnant women, according to a CDC study scheduled to be published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the AP/San Jose Mercury News reports.
According to the AP/Mercury News, the study -- which used hospital data from 1997 to 2003 in 10 states -- provides the most detailed information on the kinds of conditions experienced by infants of diabetic women. The CDC researchers who conducted the study listed nearly 40 kinds of birth defects found to be significantly more likely infants born to diabetic women than other infants.
The study compared 13,000 births that involved a major defect and compared them with 5,000 randomly selected births that did not involve a major defect. Researchers asked pregnant women if they had been diagnosed with diabetes before or during their pregnancies."

That's because diabetes is generally a 'side effect' of butyl or 2-butoxyethanol exposure
When you see diabetes, suspect exposure to BUTYL or 2-butoxyethanol. Also suspect this chemical exposure for HELLP Syndrome that shows up during pregnancy or around the time of birth (Maybe the primary cause of post partem blues) Ask the study group if they also have short term memory loss and headaches
So for the 60-70% of birth defects that have no obvious cause, and especially for those with diabetes (an autoimmune hypothalamus issue) ... look to see if the parent or a grandparent has serious CFIDS, CFS, FM, ME. If so find the anemia that is much more serious than is realized: acquired, approaching autoimmune hemolytic anemia
