  • Title: A glucose-controlled insulin infusion system for diabetic women during labour.
    Author: Nattrass M, Alberti KG, Dennis KJ, Gillibrand PN, Letchworth AT, Buckle AL.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1978 Aug 26; 2(6137):599-601. PubMed ID: 698607.
    Abstract:
    A glucose-controlled insulin infusion system was used to control blood glucose concentration during labour or caesarean section in six insulin-dependent diabetics. The mean blood glucose concentration during the four hours of labour immediately before delivery was 4.6-5.2 mmol/1 (82.9-93.7 mg/100 ml). Feedback control of insulin delivery by blood glucose concentration should decrease the risk of postpartum hypoglycaemia in the infant and allow normal obstetric management for the insulin-dependent diabetic in labour.
