Re: 35w diabetic needing less insulin

I believe the data to deliver based on decreasing insulin requirements has been long outdated. This used to be used before ultrasound, BPP, OCT's, etc. I personally would not deliver on this basis alone. I would however strongly consider amniocentesis for maturity at this point and deliver if mature. Steroids usually increase blood sugars and are not worthwhile at 35 weeks.

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.
