It would make sense that she will be more at risk of pre-eclampsia, given her Nephropathy. This Q is actually good.

Yes. Preeclamsia is correct. But even cong malformations are common in Type 1 D.M than Gestational DM so why not select Caudal regression syn? Like wise it is not given that BPis high and so on. Please explain.

caudal regression syndrome is an uncommon anomoly assoc with DM, but it is highly specific to DM...as in making the diag that was prob missed cong heart disease and NTD are far more common, but being that the patient is a class f diabetic (nephropathy) the biggest concern would be preeclampsia
