Intrapartum blood glucose level has negative correlation to neonatal blood glucose level in type 1 diabetics. In gestational diabetes the correlation is less clear. In the view of current knowledge, it seems that moderately elevated intrapartum blood glucose may not cause neonatal hypoglycemia. There is no consensus of how to treat intrapartum blood glucose level in gestational diabetics. Some studies have implied that most of mothers with gestational diabetes would have normal blood glucose level during labour and hence would not need any intervention if their daily insulin dosage is less than 0,5-1 IU/kg.
