I want to know why the induction. Is it "standard" to deliver insulin-requiring DM patients to be delivered at 38 weeks? What class diabetic IS she? Was fetal status compromised somehow (bad NST, whatever)? Was maternal glucose control going all over the place?

In other words, what was the hurry?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
