OBJECTIVES: To audit our insulin regimen in our antenatal diabetics. METHODS: 170 pregnant diabetic patients were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The perinatal mortality rate was 37/1000, vs. a perinatal mortality rate of 30/1000 in our setting. Cesarean section rate was 49%. Strict blood-glucose control reduced the incidence of macrosomia and polyhydramnios. Routine amniocentesis for fetal-lung maturity was not practiced. CONCLUSION: Satisfactory results in pregnant diabetic patients are achievable with an established insulin regimen in a developing country.
