    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is common in remote communities.
    • Patient compliance with insulin therapy for GDM can be challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral glyburide as an alternative to insulin for GDM management.
    • To address challenges with insulin regimen compliance in remote settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent studies on glyburide use in pregnancy.
    • Comparative analysis of glyburide versus insulin in GDM patients.

    Main Results:

    • Glyburide was found not to cross the human placenta.
    • Effectiveness and safety profiles of glyburide were similar to insulin.

    Conclusions:

    • Oral glyburide presents a viable alternative to insulin for GDM treatment.
    • Glyburide may improve treatment adherence due to its oral administration.
