We aimed to examine the clinical factors associated with the birth weight of infants born to Japanese pregnant women with diabetes. This retrospective observational study enrolled 204 Japanese women with singleton pregnancies with type 1 diabetes (n = 135) or type 2 diabetes (n = 69). We used multiple regression analyses to examine factors associated with birth weight standard deviation (SD) scores. In addition, we compared the clinical findings among the groups of mothers who gave birth to appropriate for gestational age infants (AGA group), large for gestational age infants (LGA group), and small for gestational age infants (SGA group). Multiple regression analyses showed that the birth weight SD score was positively associated with type 2 diabetes. In women with type 1 diabetes, the birth weight SD score was positively associated with glycated albumin levels and gestational weight gain and negatively associated with pre-pregnancy underweight. Only gestational weight gain was positively associated with birth weight SD scores in women with type 2 diabetes. Glycated hemoglobin levels, gestational weight gain, and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in the LGA group than in the AGA group. The SGA group showed significantly lower gestational weight gain and triglyceride levels than the AGA group. These results suggest that it is important to manage not only blood glucose levels but also pre-pregnancy body weight and gestational weight gain for appropriate fetal growth. The effects of clinical factors on infant birth weight may differ between patients with type 1 and those with type 2 diabetes.
