Prospective study of 3 metabolic regimens in pregnant diabetics. 1987

O A Farrag

Three tight regimens to maintain blood sugar values of 5.6 SI (group A), 5.6-6.7 SI (group B), and 6.7-8.9 SI (group C), were studied in 60 pregnant diabetic patients. The perinatal salvage rate was 96.6%. Maternal hypoglycaemia occurred only in group A. The group C regimen produced more complications than occurred in the other 2 groups. Very tight control of blood sugar is not necessary for successful management of diabetes in pregnancy and blood sugar value between 5.6-6.7 SI offers the best outcome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
