Diabetic babies have larger shoulders?  Is this opinion from a scientific
study?

Regarding large babies, Broda Barnes said that was common in hypothyroid
patients.  Having watched a former business partner with diabetes suffer the
same things I did from hypothyroidism, I believe a hypothyroid person can
have any symptom a diabetic has, except elevated levels of sugar,  without
being diabetic. (But tell a diabetic his symptoms might get better with
thyroid treatment, they are not likely to believe since the criteria and
suffering for diabetes is well established.  It's not a "mystery disease." )
  It makes sense a hypothyroid family would have large babies if Broda Barnes
was correct.
