Glycaemic control in labour with diabetes

Diabetes during pregnancy affects about 9 in every 100 women or birthing people. Most of these cases are gestational diabetes (GDM), which develops during pregnancy and usually goes away after birth. During labour or before a planned caesarean, people with GDM are often closely monitored to keep their blood sugar levels in a safe range. However, some find this monitoring uncomfortable or intrusive. New research suggests that very tight control of blood sugar during labour might not be as necessary as once thought. This study will compare two approaches—tight control and a more relaxed approach—to see how they affect the birth experience, the baby’s health, and overall outcomes.
