Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subcutaneous insulin therapy titrated according to maternal blood glucose levels pre- and post-prandial and pre-bed in women with diabetes in pregnancy who receive antenatal corticosteroids for threatened preterm delivery. Subcutaneous insulin administration commenced at initial corticosteroid dose and continued until maternal blood glucose levels normalised, generally 48-72 hours following last corticosteroid dose.
Intervention code [1] 290170 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Intravenous insulin therapy as per our established protocol titrated to hourly maternal blood glucose levels. Intravenous insulin administration commenced at initial corticosteroid dose and continued until maternal blood glucose levels normalised, generally 48-72 hours following last corticosteroid dose.
