Summary

This trial aims to determine if keeping blood sugar levels higher during childbirth in diabetic patients will reduce the chances of newborns experiencing low blood sugar levels.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals in labor who have diabetes, aiming to reduce the risk of their newborns having low blood sugar. Participants should meet specific health criteria and not be part of any other similar studies.
What is being tested?
The study compares two glucose control strategies during labor: a 'standard' range versus a more 'liberalized' range, to see which is better at preventing low blood sugar in newborns.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include variations in maternal blood sugar levels that could affect both mother and baby's health.

Active Control
Group I: Liberalized Intrapartum Glucose Target RangeExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The goal intrapartum glucose target range will be 70-160mg/dl. Insulin infusion will be initiated when maternal capillary glucose exceeds 160 mg/dL.
Group II: Standard Intrapartum Glucose Target RangeActive Control1 Intervention
The goal intrapartum glucose target range will be 70-110mg/dl. Insulin infusion will be initiated when maternal capillary glucose exceeds 110 mg/dL.
