N2 - The prevalence of preterm delivery is considerably elevated in women with type 1 diabetes. The aim of the study was to evaluate haemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) as a predictor of preterm delivery. Two hundred thirteen consecutive pregnant women with type 1 diabetes and normal urinary albumin excretion were included prospectively. HbA(1c) was analyzed at 10, 20 and 28 weeks of gestation. Seventy-one women (33%) delivered pre term and 142 at term. At 10 weeks of gestation, HbA(1c) was 7.3% (S.D. 1.0) vs. 6.9% (S.D. 0.9) (P
