Text: Glycaemic control was better with the four times daily regimen than with the twice daily regimen : in patients with gestational diabetes mean blood glucose concentrations decreased by 0. 19 mmol/l (0. 13 to 0. 25), HbA (1c) by 0. 3 % (0. 2 % to 0. 4 %), and fructosamine by 41 micromol/l (37 to 45), and adequate glycaemic control (mean blood glucose concentration < 5. 8 mmol/l) was achieved in 17 % (8 % to 26 %) more women ; in patients with pregestational diabetes mean blood glucose concentration decreased by 0. 44 mmol/l (0. 28 to 0. 60), HbA (1c) by 0. 5 % (0. 2 % to 0. 8 %), and fructosamine by 51 micromol/l (45 to 57), and adequate glycaemic control was achieved in 31 % (15 % to 47 %) more women.
