Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Demonstrate that treatment with metformin in women with GD (not controlled with diet) can get no lower obstetric and perinatal outcomes to standard treatment with insulin. Demonstrate that glycemic control with metformin in women obtained properly selected can be equivalent to that obtained with insulin.;Secondary Objective: State that the adverse effect profile of treatment is safe and can favor the metformin, at least in a lower risk of hypoglycemia, and that digestive intolerance will not be a limitant factor in most pregnant. Demonstrate that women treated with metformin have a weight gain significant lower than those treated with insulin. State If fructosamine may be a marker of insulinization need in patients treated with metformin. Women treated with metformin will found more satisfied than those treated with insulin Check for differences in parameters of inflammation, endothelial injury and oxidativge stress as well as in lipid profile, between groups and based on metabolic control and perinatal outcomes.;Primary end point(s): Demonstrate that treatment with metformin in women with GD (not controlled with diet) can get no lower obstetric and perinatal outcomes to standard treatment with insulin. Demonstrate that glycemic control with metformin in women obtained properly selected can be equivalent to that obtained with insulin.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Selection visit, subsequent visits (every 1-3 weeks), 36-37 week pregnancy, 8-10 weeks after delivery
