Summary

This study looks at whether high-protein drinks during labor can help pregnant women with insulin-treated diabetes maintain healthier blood sugar levels. About 60 women will be randomly assigned to drink either a clear protein beverage or standard clear liquids during labor. Participants will wear a small glucose sensor to track blood sugar, and researchers will also check if the baby is less likely to have low blood sugar after birth.
