The randomized trial included 958 women who met criteria for mild gestational diabetes who were randomly assigned to a treatment group (dietary intervention, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and insulin when indicated), or to a control group (usual prenatal care) (Landon MB et al. N Engl J Med. 2009;361[14]:1339-1348). There was no significant difference between the groups in the study's primary outcome measure, which was a composite of mortality or morbidities in the infant, including hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, or birth trauma. However treated mothers were less likely to develop pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia, to have a cesarean delivery or a delivery involving shoulder dystocia, or to deliver an unusually large infant.
