Medical College, Sullia. During the period 1st December 2019 to 30th November 2020. Results: The present study is a hospital based prospective study to know the occurrence of metabolic, hematological abnormalities, congenital anomalies in infant of diabetic Mother. Among the 86 neonates born to diabetic mothers (GDM + overt DM), 44 (51.8%) were found to have hypoglycemia whereas 36 (42%) had hypocalcemia. 38 of the 86 (44%) were found to have polycythemia whereas 36 (42%) were found to have hyperbilirubinemia. 9 (11%) had cardiovascular anomalies, each one case of (1.8%) CNS and renal anomalies Conclusions: The following conclusions can be drawn from this study. Among the pregnancies complicated by diabetes, GDM continues to have a major contribution. Hypoglycemia remains the most common biochemical abnormality followed by, polycythemia and hyperbilirubinemia, statistically significant in infants of GDM mothers.
