Diabetic complications during pregnancy:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Treatment of both the newly diagnosed and the established diabetic is designed to maintain blood glucose levels within acceptable limits through dietary management and insulin administration. Many females with overt diabetes mellitus require hospitalization at the beginning of pregnancy to assess physical status, check for cardiac and renal disease, and regulate diabetes.
For pregnant patients with diabetes, therapy includes:
❑ bimonthly visits to the obstetrician and the internist during the first 6 months of pregnancy; weekly visits may be necessary during the third trimester
❑ maintenance of fasting blood glucose levels at or below 100 mg/dl and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels at or below 120 mg/dl during the pregnancy
❑ frequent monitoring for glycosuria and ketonuria (ketosis presents a grave threat to the fetal central nervous system)
❑ weight control (gain not to exceed 3 to 3½ lb [1.4 to 1.6 kg] per month during the last 6 months of pregnancy)
❑ high-protein diet of 2 g/day/kg of body weight, or a minimum of 80 g/day during the second half of pregnancy; daily calorie intake of 30 to 40 calories/kg of body weight; daily carbohydrate intake of 200 g; and enough fat to provide 36% of total calories (however, vigorous calorie restriction can cause starvation ketosis)
❑ exogenous insulin if diet doesn’t control blood glucose levels. Be alert for changes in insulin requirements from one trimester to the next and immediately postpartum. Oral antidiabetic drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy because they may cause fetal hypoglycemia and congenital anomalies.
Generally, the optimal time for delivery is between 37 and 39 weeks’ gestation, although with reassuring antenatal testing and no evidence of macrosomia, 40 weeks or later is also feasible. The insulin-dependent diabetic may require hospitalization before delivery for frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels and prompt intervention if complications develop.
Depending on fetal status and maternal history, the obstetrician may induce labor or perform a cesarean delivery. During labor and delivery, the patient with diabetes should receive continuous I.V. infusion of dextrose with regular insulin in water. Maternal and fetal status must be monitored closely throughout labor. The patient may benefit from half her prepregnancy dosage of insulin before a cesarean delivery. Her insulin requirement will fall markedly after delivery.

Diabetic complications during pregnancy:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
Both the newly diagnosed and the established diabetic need dietary management and insulin administration to maintain blood glucose levels within acceptable limits. Most women with overt diabetes mellitus require hospitalization at the beginning of pregnancy to assess physical status, check for cardiac and renal disease, and regulate diabetes.
For pregnant patients with diabetes, therapy includes:
❑ frequent visits to the obstetrician and the internist during the first 6 months of pregnancy; weekly visits may be necessary during the third trimester, an internist may be consulted as necessary.
❑ maintenance of blood glucose levels at or below 95 mg/dl during the third trimester
❑ frequent monitoring for glycosuria and ketonuria (Ketosis presents a grave threat to the fetal central nervous system.)
❑ a high-protein diet of 2 g/day/kg of body weight (a minimum of 80 g/day during the second half of pregnancy), a daily calorie intake of 30 to 40 calories/kg of body weight, a daily carbohydrate intake of 200 g, and enough fat to provide 36% of total calories (However, vigorous calorie restriction can cause starvation ketosis.)
❑ exogenous insulin if diet doesn’t control blood glucose levels. Oral antidiabetic agents are generally contraindicated during pregnancy because they may cause fetal hypoglycemia and congenital anomalies.
Delivery
Generally, the optimal time for delivery is no different from a normal pregnancy, as long as blood sugars are controlled and no fetal compromise is present.
Depending on fetal status and maternal history, labor may be spontaneous induced or a cesarean section performed. During labor and delivery, the patient with diabetes should receive a continuous I.V. infusion of dextrose with regular insulin in water. Maternal and fetal status must be monitored closely throughout labor.
The patient may benefit from half her prepregnancy dosage of insulin before a cesarean delivery. Her insulin requirement will fall markedly after delivery.
