Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Achievement rate of glycoalbumin < 15.8% at 36 weeks of gestation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Glycoalbumin levels (%) at gestational weeks 24, 28, 32, 36, and 40, as well as the changes in glycoalbumin levels (%) from study initiation (start of treatment). HbA1c levels (%) at gestational weeks 24, 28, 32, 36, and 40, as well as the changes in HbA1c levels (%) from study initiation (start of treatment). Achievement rate of HbA1c Gestational age at delivery, rates of cesarean delivery, neonatal birth weight, apgar scores (1 minute, 5 minutes), rates of large for gestational age (LGA) and small for gestational age (SGA) infants, NICU admission rate, neonatal hypoglycemia rate, neonatal jaundice, shoulder dystocia, preterm delivery, stillbirth and neonatal death, composite perinatal outcome (rates of LGA, SGA, NICU admission, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal jaundice, shoulder dystocia, preterm birth, stillbirth, and neonatal death). Maternal QOL scores (DTSQ, DTR-QOL, HFS-II), average frequency of SMBG usage (times/day) during pregnancy.
