Intravenous Insulin vs Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in Intrapartum Management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Summary

The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized trial to investigate if intrapartum insulin delivery mechanisms reduces adverse outcomes associated with type 1 diabetes in pregnancy. The investigators aim to compare subcutaneous insulin pump versus intravenous insulin infusion with regard to the primary outcome of neonatal blood sugar.
