Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Pregnant Women Undergoing Betamethasone Therapy
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01165775
Purpose
We hope to clarify how betamethasone affects glucose levels in the mother in the days after
receiving the drug. This understanding will hopefully allow us to better anticipate the risk
of maternal hyperglycemia and therefore establish more appropriate monitoring of maternal
glucose to prevent maternal and neonatal complications of hyperglycemia.
