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.

Conditions

  • Obstetric Labor
  • Pregnancy in Diabetics

Interventions

DRUG

glucose solution only

Women in group 2, will receive intravenous saline solution boosted with 5% glucose only, at a rate of 125mL/h. Women in this group will be treated similar to group 1 if glucose levels crossed over 100 mg/dL.

DRUG

glucose solution and Insulin

Women in group 1, will receive intravenous saline solution boosted with 5% glucose combined with 8 units of insulin at a rate of 125mL/h. The desirable intrapartum glucose level will be 70 to 100 mg/dL. Glucose levels will be checked hourly. Glucose level between 100-140 mg/dL will be treated with additional intravenous insulin, 1 units/hour. Glucose level between 141-160 mg/dL will be treated with intravenous insulin, 2 units/hour. Additionally, the 5% glucose solution will be substitute with lactated Ringer's solution. Glucose level between 161-200 mg/dL will be treated with intravenous insulin, 4 units/hour. Glucose level above 200 mg/dL will be treated with intravenous insulin, 6 units/hour.
