Insulin Analogs and Pregnancy

چکیده
Angelina L. Trujillo, MD, FACE Diabetes during pregnancy is a major risk factor for poor fetal, neonatal, and maternal outcomes; however, the risk can be greatly reduced by early institution of medical nutritional therapy and insulin treatment. Maintaining maternal glycemia as near to normal as possible reduces the risk of congenital anomalies, macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and large-for-gestational-age infants. Achieving normoglycemia has usually been accomplished with human insulin. However, the newer rapid-acting insulin analogs lispro and aspart, when compared to regular human insulin, demonstrate both efficacy and safety for the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy. NPH insulin is the only basal insulin that has been studied in pregnancy. There are not yet any published controlled studies evaluating the long-acting insulin analogs for use in pregnancy.

Improving outcomes in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.
D espite the good intentions of the St. Vincent Declaration to reduce adverse outcomes down to that seen in nondiabetic pregnant women, maternal and perinatal adverse outcomes continue to be associated with type 1 diabetes. Optimized glycemia has been shown to be the best management for pregnant type 1 diabetic women (1). It is recognized that high A1C levels are associated with adverse outcome...

Objective(s) PDE3 has a functional role in insulin secretion and action. We investigated the metabolic effects of new synthetic PDE3 inhibitors (mc1, mc2, mc5 and mc6), on mice and hyperglycemic rat. Materials and Methods The test compound or solvent was injected subcutaneously to mice, for 7 days. On day 8, blood and liver samples were obtained. In hyperglycemic rat, 0.5 g/kg glucose with o...
متن کاملTreatment with insulin and its analogs in pregnancies complicated by diabetes.
B efore the advent of insulin in 1922, 100 pregnancies in diabetic women were reported; most likely, these women had type 2 and not type 1 diabetes (1). Even with this assumption, these cases of diabetes and pregnancy were associated with a 90% infant mortality rate and a 30% maternal mortality rate. As late as 1980, physicians were still counseling diabetic women to avoid pregnancy. This philo...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of insulin analogs in special populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus
INTRODUCTION The goal of insulin therapy in patients with either type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is to match as closely as possible normal physiologic insulin secretion to control fasting and postprandial plasma glucose. Modifications of the insulin molecule have resulted in two long-acting insulin analogs (glargine and detemir) and three rapid-acting insulins...
