Intrapartum Glucose and Insulin Compared to Glucose Alone in Diabetic Women

Summary

This study aims to examine the effect of intrapartum treatment of diabetic women with combined glucose and constant insulin infusion compared to glucose alone on the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia. Pregnant women with diabetes in pregnancy will be randomly divided during labor to 2 groups: group 1, will receive intravenous glucose with constant insulin infusion; group 2 will receive intravenous glucose alone. The primary outcome is the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia.
