Risk factors associated with the need for insulin in patients with gestational diabetes in a reference hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina: retrospective cohort study

A baseline blood glucose value greater than 95 mg/dl and BMI of more than 25 kg/m2 could be associated with poor glycemic control in women with GDM. Studies that assess these variables and control for confounding factors are needed in order to identify the factors associated with insulin requirement in pregnant women.
