Summary

The investigators asume that the measurement of the fetal heart interventricular septum can serve as a good tool to predict glucose control in pregnant patients with diabetes mellitus. The investigators will measure the septum width in patients with Diabetes and will correlate to standard measurements of the glucuse levels.

Detailed description

In this study the investigators will follow patients with Diabetes Mellitus - mainly gestational. the investigators will measure the width of the interventricular septum and correlate with conventional measures of blood glucose measurements in this population. The investigators will try to assess whether measurement of the septum can be an earlier and better predictor of glucose control in this population.
