The potential for the use of insulin lispro in pregnancy complicated by diabetes.

Full Abstract

The target of improved perinatal outcome in diabetic pregnancies may be achieved by new insulin preparations that more closely mirror the physiological response of insulin and not exclusively the traditional means of strict adherence to diet and frequent blood glucose testing.No insulin preparation has been systematically tested in pregnancy; it is a responsibility of all clinicians who look after pregnant diabetic women to record the outcomes of IL-treated pregnancies. More data is needed before this preparation can be either recommended in pregnancy or alternatively avoided.
