PREDICTIVE RISK FACTORS OF INSULIN USE REQUIREMENT IN PATIENTS WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES

Abstract

Introduction: gestational diabetes (GDM) is the alteration of glucose tolerance that begins or is recognized for the first time during the current pregnancy. Poor glycemic control increases the risk of severe maternal-fetal complications, which is why strict management of GDM is essential to prevent them. The choice of treatment with a nutritional plan or insulin depends fundamentally on the glycemic goals achieved, and recognizing the risk factors that predict its failure allows this management to be optimized. Objectives: to determine the risk factors that predict the need for insulin in DMG.
