No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will determine whether rotating intravenous (IV) fluid is better than receiving insulin to control a baby's blood sugar after delivery in laboring women with diabetes. A computer will choose the method of controlling the participant's blood sugar while they are in labor.

Conditions

  • Type II Diabetes Mellitus
  • Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Interventions

OTHER

Rotating fluids protocol

IV fluids at a rate of 100-150 ml/hr will be administered: * For blood glucose \< 100 mg/dL or less: IV fluids with 5% dextrose * For blood glucose between 101-140 mg/dL: IV fluids without 5% dextrose * For blood glucose \> 140 mg/dL on two consecutive occasions: insulin infusion protocol (Study arm 2)

OTHER

Insulin infusion protocol

Regular insulin at 1 unit/ml AND IV fluids at a rate of 100-150 ml/hr will be administered: * For blood glucose \< 80 mg/dL: No insulin AND IV fluids with 5% dextrose * For blood glucose 80-100 mg/dL: Insulin at 0.5 U/hr AND IV fluids with 5% dextrose * For blood glucose 101-140 mg/dL: Insulin at 1.0 U/hr AND IV fluids with 5% dextrose * For blood glucose 141-180 mg/dL: Insulin at 1.5 U/hr AND IV fluids with 5% dextrose * For blood glucose 181-220 mg/dL: Insulin at 2.0 U/hr AND IV fluid without dextrose * For blood glucose \> 220 mg/dL: Insulin at 2.5 U/hr AND IV fluids without dextrose
