Oral hypoglycaemic agents during pregnancy: the evidence for effectiveness and safety

Nicholson, Wanda, Baptiste-Roberts, Kesha·2011·Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Abstract

With the increase in obesity and sedentary lifestyles, the incidence of diabetes among reproductive-aged women is rising globally. Providers are expected to care for a growing number of women with gestational diabetes (GDM) in the coming decades. Traditionally, insulin has been considered the standard for management of GDM, when diet and exercise fail to achieve tight maternal glucose control without the risk of transfer of insulin across the placenta. Understanding the effectiveness and safety of the use of oral diabetes agents during pregnancy for both maternal and neonatal outcomes as an alternative management option is essential to the care of women with GDM and their offspring. In this review, our objectives were to (1) summarise the available evidence on the efficacy these medications, (2) review available data on adverse effect, (3) discuss current gaps in research, outlining limitations in current study designs that deserve attention and (4) summarise key points for the practicing clinician.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
