Summary
This study looks at whether allowing pregnant women with diabetes to have slightly higher blood sugar levels during labor can reduce the chance of their newborns having dangerously low blood sugar. Researchers will compare a more relaxed blood sugar target to the usual strict control in 169 women planning a vaginal delivery. The goal is to find a safer balance for both mother and baby.
