Glyburide vs Insulin for Gestational Diabetes—Reply

In Reply Our study included women with singleton pregnancies and gestational diabetes diagnosed between 24 and 34 weeks, since intervention studies have shown efficacy of treatment in preventing perinatal complications in this population. Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes diagnosed before 24 weeks were exclusion criteria, so our trial was not designed to compare the efficacy of insulin and glyburide in preventing perinatal complications in women with gestational diabetes before 24 weeks. We did not compare complications in women diagnosed earlier vs later in the 24- to 34-week period.
