Needle beats pill in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Given the steady increase in the use of oral antidiabetic medication, better knowledge of their effects on neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus is essential. Recently, Marie-Victoire Senat and colleagues investigated the use of glyburide over standard insulin treatment in a noninferiority multicentre randomized trial, which found higher risk of perinatal complications under glyburide therapy.
