Glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY) is often misdiagnosed as other forms of diabetes. A 42-year-old pregnant lady with pre-existing diabetes was treated with insulin during first trimester. Fetal growth restriction was noted since mid-second trimester. Genetic testing suggested the diagnosis of GCK-MODY.
