Glycemic Objectives of Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

May 2, 2018 updated by: Jean-Luc Ardilouze, Université de Sherbrooke

Reevaluation of the Glycemic Objectives of Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

In a previous study, the investigators established the dosage of foetal glycated hemoglobin (FGH). It represents the mean of blood sugar 4-6 before the delivery. The investigators also compared the FGH of newborn of women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and determined that newborn of women with GDM had significantly higher FGH that newborn of women without GDM.

In this study, the investigators want to compare the FGH of newborn of GDM women randomized to a group reaching the Canadian Diabetes Association recommended blood glucose objectives treatment (fasting: 5.3 mmol/L and 2-hour after meals: 6.7 mmol/L) to a group reaching lower blood glucose objectives (fasting: 4.8 mmol/L and 2-hour after meals: 5.9 mmol/L)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Normal glycemic control
GDM women in this group will reach glycemic objectives recommended by the Canadian Diabetes Association: fasting: 5.3 mmol/L and 2-hour after meals: 6.7 mmol/L.
Use diet, physical exercise of insulins to reach normal glycemic control.
Experimental: Low glycemic control
GDM women in this group will reach lower glycemic objectives than those recommended by the Canadian Diabetes Association: fasting: 4.8 mmol/L and 2-hour after meals: 5.9 mmol/L.
Use diet, physical exercise of insulins to reach low glycemic control.
