Efficacy and safety of metformin for the treatment of gestational diabetes: a new approach to the problem

Historically, the following two methods were used to treat gestational diabetes mellitus: non-medical life-style interventions (diet and increased physical activity) and insulin treatment when other interventions were not effective. The possibility of alternative types of treatment such as oral anti...
