Is achieving glycaemic targets in the hours preceding labour and birth important to reduce maternal and neonatal risks, or is this less important than weeks of at-target antenatal glucose control? Are there particular subgroups in whom glycaemic control is particularly important? What the evidence to support specific glucose targets in the peripartum, and how should these safely be achieved? This session will review available evidence and management guidelines, and present the experience of the Pregnancy-IVI to maintain normoglycaemia in labour, and where birth has occurred shortly after antenatal corticosteroids .
