Implication

Observational study compares maternal and neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes management, suggesting metformin may have advantages over insulin.

Key Points

Metformin treatment led to significantly lower cesarean sections and neonatal complications compared to insulin.
A total of 304 pregnant women with gestational diabetes were analyzed, with significant differences in outcomes between treatment groups.
Insulin treatment resulted in increased neonatal admissions to NICU and higher incidence of related complications compared to metformin.
This analysis supports the potential for metformin to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes management.
