  • Title: Treatment of severe diabetic ketoacidosis in the early third trimester in a patient with fetal distress. A case report.
    Author: Rhodes RW, Ogburn PL.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1984 Aug; 29(8):621-4. PubMed ID: 6434736.
    Abstract:
    A patient presented with severe diabetic ketoacidosis at 30 weeks' gestation. Her case was complicated by uterine contractions and fetal distress. Treatment with rehydration and continuous infusion of insulin not only reversed the diabetic ketoacidosis but also stopped the uterine contractions and fetal distress. Ketoacidosis can stimulate uterine contractions and cause signs of fetal distress; these problems can be reversed by adequately treating the diabetic ketoacidosis.
