Abstract
Question. I practise in a remote community in Manitoba. Quite a few of my patients experience gestational diabetes. Their compliance with the insulin regimen is abysmal. Can I give them an oral medication? Answer. Recent studies have indicated that glyburide does not cross the human placenta and that its effectiveness and safety profiles are similar to those of insulin.
