Summary: The aim of this study is to assess rates of neonatal hypoglycemia with differing intrapartum glucose protocols. Currently at this time there is no guidance from professional medical organizations about when and how frequent to assess maternal glucose levels intrapartum. Several institutions have no protocols in place. The study will be a randomized controlled trial placing patients with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in "frequent" vs "infrequent" glucose monitoring intrapartum and assessing neonatal glucose levels at birth.
