• Women with a normally grown fetus should be offered elective induction
of labour, or CS if indicated, after 38 completed weeks.
• Women with diabetes should be advised to give birth in hospitals where
advanced neonatal resuscitation skills are available 24 hours a day.
• During labour, capillary blood glucose should be monitored hourly and maintained at 4 - 7 mmol/litre.
• If general anaesthesia is used for the birth, blood glucose should be
monitored every 30 minutes from induction of anaesthesia until after the
baby is born and the woman is fully conscious.
