Shoulder dystocia in babies born to Aboriginal mothers with diabetes: a population-based cohort study, 1998–2015 [PDF]
Background Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women with diabetes in pregnancy (DIP) are more likely to have glycaemic levels above the target range, and their babies are thus at higher risk of excessive fetal growth.
