Study Summary
Preterm birth occurs in 25% of women with insulin requiring diabetes in pregnancy. The administration of corticosteroid therapy to accelerate fetal lung maturation is indicated in women at risk for preterm birth. The purpose of this study is to compare the timing, duration and severity of maternal hyperglycemia after corticosteroid administration in women with insulin-requiring diabetes compared to those without diabetes in pregnancy. This is a prospective, observational study. Hourly glucose levels will be obtained for a total of 7 days after corticosteroid administration using the Dexcom Seven continuous glucose monitoring system. In addition, hemoglobin A1C will be obtained to assess the overall level of glycemic control of the participant prior to the corticosteroid therapy.
