2007 NICE Screening Guidelines - Miriam McCarthy

The team at King's College are trying to implement the 2007 NICE screening guidelines which would mean doing over 5000 GTT per year. Does anyone else do so many if so how is the service provided?

Antenatal Corticosteroids to Reduce Neonatal Morbidity (RCOG Green-top 7) - Sonia Clark
Public view | Network member posting
What are midwives doing about the Green-top 7 guideline published in Oct 2010 (http://www.rcog.org.uk/files/rcog-corp/GTG%207.pdf) which recommends ante natal steroids for women delivered before 38+6 by elective CS. Does anyone have any guidelines on how to handle this with Type 1, Type 2 and GDM on insulin as Sonia's trust deliver all their ladies on insulin at 38 weeks. This is causing problems with BG Levels/need for insulin infusion prior to delivery, especially with Type 1.

NICE Guidelines GTT
Public view | Network member posting
At present we get our GDM and T2DM women to test their blood glucose pre meal one day, keeping BM's between 4.0-5.5, and 2 hours post prandial, keeping below 7.0.
Our T1 women just test pre meal, keeping between 4.0-5.5. They don't do any post prandial testing.
We had a discussion about changing to NICE guidelines, as one of the other hospitals in our trust uses them.
How many units use the NICE guidelines, what do you tell the women about testing 1 hour post prandial - is it at the start of the meal, end of the meal, 1 hour after giving their insulin? Also did you have any problems when changing your targets and monitoring?
Do you get your T1 women to test post prandial at all?
We are auditing our outcomes at the moment to see if they are better, the same or worse than the national outcomes to see if we have any evidence to say that we should change to NICE guidelines, and we are also going to wait til next year as NICE is due to update then.
In the meantime any information would be gratefully received.
thanks

Use of insulin pumps for LSCS - posted by Heather Chandler
Public view | Network member posting
Recently our lady with a pump had a LSCS she had been fine throughout pregnancy until the night prior to LSCS she had a hypo, it was treated with glucogel and then had a glucose infusion started which she maintained normal blood glucose levels with her pump. She reports being anxious, not eating as much as normal and thus probably giving herself a bit too much insulin, it was also quite a warm day,so everything was explainable but i just wondered if anyone else had experience of a LSCS with a pump and whether they advised reducing cho ratio for meal prior or any other tick or just see what happens!! all thoughts and experience welcome!
