Question
Answer
What is considered a key to optimal pregnancy outcome?   strict maternal glucose control before conception and thru preg  
🗑
what is DM   hyperglycemia resulting in deficient insulin secretion/action/both  
🗑
Where is insulin produced   B-cells in islets of Langerhans of pancreas  
🗑
what does insulin do   reg blood glucose lvls by allowing glucose to enter adipose/muscle cells. It's used for energy. Stimulates protein synthesis. Stores free fatty acids  
🗑
