Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Oral Metformin and Insulin | Intervention 'Insulin Mixtard' and Intervention 'metformin' had included~Insulin Mixtard: Insulin dose:~* 0.7 IU/Kg (at the second trimester of pregnancy).~* 0.8 IU/Kg (at the third trimester of pregnancy). Insulin dose was raised at a rate of 1 IU for every 10 mg/dl higher than the target blood glucose concentration.~Metformin: Oral metformin at a dose of 1500 mg divided into three doses, were taken with meals, in addition to insulin.~If the target blood glucose concentrations were not attained, the dose of metformin was raised to 2000 mg per day. | 5 | 31 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Insulin Therapy Only | Intervention 'Insulin Mixtard' had included~Insulin Mixtard: Insulin dose:~* 0.7 IU/Kg (at the second trimester of pregnancy).~* 0.8 IU/Kg (at the third trimester of pregnancy). Insulin dose was raised at a rate of 1 IU for every 10 mg/dl higher than the target blood glucose concentration. | 6 | 31 | OG001 |
