Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

It is known that administration of steroids increases blood sugar levels. Administration of betamethasone is common practice during pregnancy to women at risk for preterm delivery. However, it is unknown the magnitude of the changes in glucose these women have after receiving betamethasone. The purpose of this study is to determine the magnitude and timing of the increase in blood sugar in pregnant women without diabetes who receive steroids.
