Effect of gestational diabetes mellitus treatment on glucose levels in nonobese and obese pregnant women at term. Glucose levels were determined in nonobese (N, n = 69) or obese (O, n = 48) women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancy. (A) Frequency of treatments in women with GDM, χ2 = 4.263, p = 0.039 for diet plus metformin and χ2 = 6.259, p = 0.012 for diet plus insulin and metformin. (B) Glucose levels determined during the 3rd trimester after different GDM treatments. GDM treatments were as follows: diet, diet plus metformin, diet plus insulin and diet plus insulin and metformin. Values are the mean ± S.D. Significant differences were considered with *p < 0.05.
