About

Diabetic parturients planned for cesarean delivery will be recruited for the study. They will receive a fixed glucose dose to mimize the effects of fasting preoperatively and their blood glucose levels will be monitored.

Full description

Informed voluntary parturients planned for cesarean delivery will be informed about the study. The parturients will get prepacked glucose drink containing 100 g and 50 g glucose, respectively. They will consume the 100 g of glucose the night before the planned operation and the 50 g on the morning of the planned cesarean delivery. Their blood glucose level will be monitored by percutaneous continuous blood glucose monitoring every 30 minutes for 2 hours following the glucose dose in the evening and for four hours in the morning of the operation.

The subjective well being of these parturients will be also qualitatively assessed.
