Hyperglycemia in Pregnant Diabetic Patients Clinical Trial
Official title:
Insulin Pre-treatment for Steroid-associated Hyperglycemia in Pregnant Diabetic Patients
Our objective is to assess whether pre-treatment with a fixed dose of insulin, based on
weight, given to pregnant patients with gestational or preexisting diabetes receiving
betamethasone can provide adequate glycemic control.
Our hypothesis is that pre-treatment with a weight-based calculated insulin dose will help
maintain euglycemia for pregnant patients with gestational and preexisting diabetes after
steroid administration, and possibly impact length of hospital admission.
