correct..
oral hypoglycemic agents are generally avoided in gestational diabetes M because of the risk of fetal hyperinsulinemia and hypoglycemia. but recently glyburide are being used because its placental tranfer is minimal and fetal hypoglycemia is less of a risk. still insulin remains the drug of choice for blodd glucose control in gestational diabetes M,,, in patients whom diet and light excercise have failed to control blood glucose levels. |
