Abstract

We believe that glyburide and acarbose can be promising alternative therapies for the treatment of GDM. Glyburide controlled glucose levels in most patients and it was more efficient than acarbose. Glyburide showed a higher rate of macrosomia and neonatal hypoglycemia as compared to other therapies.
