About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hyperglycemia in Pregnant Diabetic Patients

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant women with gestational or pre-existing diabetes admitted to the University of Minnesota
  2. Must be 18 years or older
  3. Must speak English, Spanish, or Somali
  4. Patients must receive steroids for fetal lung maturity as part of their hospital course

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant women with Type 1 Diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes with evidence of end-organ disease
  2. Pregnant women who need to be emergently delivered due to maternal or fetal complications of pregnancy

Sites / Locations

  • University of Minnesota Medical Center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

insulin pre-treatment

Arm Description

insulin pre-treatment of pregnant diabetic patients who receive betamethasone

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of hospital days until euglycemia in pregnant diabetic patients receiving steroids who are pre-treated with insulin.
Pregnant diabetic patients admitted to the hospital who receive steroids for fetal lung maturity will have their blood glucose levels checked before and after receiving steroids. Blood glucose levels will be checked fasting and postprandial until the levels are consistently less than 160. This will vary for patients, but will be on average 2 to 14 days.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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.
