Primary outcomePrimary: Glycemic Control — 109.5; 107.4 mg/dL
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare glycemic control in pregnant women treated with insulin Detemir and pregnant women treated with NPH insulin. These women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) in the current pregnancy or have a preexisting diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) at the onset of pregnancy. Our hypothesis is that there is no difference between these two treatment modalities in terms of glycemic control in diabetes.
