Insulin Dosing

Association between weight/body mass index and insulin dose requirements in gestational diabetes: a retrospective cohort study | BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care / Implications for clinical practice and future research

"Our data suggest that weight-based or BMI-based selection of basal insulin doses in GDM is not an effective strategy and may overcomplicate management. Future research should aim to evaluate insulin dosing requirements in larger and more diverse cohorts."
