Abstract
Maternal smoking, studied in late pregnancy, was found to be associated with lower blood glucose values, both during fasting and after an intravenous glucose load. As a correlation between blood glucose levels and infant birth weight has been reported, it is possible that smoking during pregnancy might reduce fetal growth through an effect on maternal glucose metabolism.
