Strict Versus Permissive Thresholds for Initiation of Pharmacotherapy in Gestational Diabetes (START 2)

The aim of our study is to compare neonatal and maternal outcomes using different thresholds for the initiation and titration of pharmacotherapy for gestational diabetes (GDM). Our goal is to compare a Strict and permissive threshold. The Strict study arm target range will be 65-120 mg/dL, with time in range goal of 70%. The permissive study arm target range will be 65-140 mg/dL, with target time in range goal of 70%.
