We used to have insulin and glucose infusions on all our insulin dependant women, but now they just seem to have their usual dose of insulin in the morning before a usual breakfast, (are induced at or before term) and have 1-2 hourly BSLs during active labour, eat and drink as other labouring women. Baby needs to be fed early (as is normal!) and 3 x BSLs above the minimum level with regular feeding. hope this helps Louise Dimmock McLeod RN Midwife IBCLC
