Proposed model includes recent data on diabetes mellitus complications and the effect of coexisting diseases on the mother and fetus health. Management was adapted to the real and potential possibilities of health service in Poland. A decrease in the rate of mortality of fetuses under 7% was achieved. It is worth emphasizing despite higher value than those reported in the literature.
