Come on, this is the third millenium. You cannot use islet cell stimulators after the 26th week. The paper showing good outcomes with glyburide has yet to be confirmed. stray Robert_Rossi@matria.com wrote: > Do any of you listers, particularly those of you outside the US, have any > experience with the use of metformin > for treatment of diabetes in pregnancy.

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.
