Which Factors Influence the Type of Delivery and Cesarean Section Rate in Women with Gestational Diabetes?

Abstract

Pregnant women with GDM and previous history of macrosomia are more likely to be submitted to cesarean section. Also, the initiation of insulin treatment at an early gestational age is associated with a higher chance of a woman delivering by cesarean section. The cesarean section rate in women with GDM was 47.8%.
