A hiperglicemia durante a gestação é condição frequente e está relacionada a múltiplas complicações materno-infantis. Depois do primeiro trimestre, período marcado por relativa sensibilidade à insulina, o crescimento da placenta promove a liberação de hormônios contrarreguladores da insulina permitindo que as hiperglicemias sobrevenham na gestante susceptível. A despeito dos enormes avanços farmacológicos no tratamento do diabetes, a insulinoterapia é a modalidade de escolha para as gestantes, considerando-se o perfil de segurança e escassez de estudos de longo prazo com outras drogas. As recomendações para o tratamento do diabetes gestacional e pré-gestacional são baseadas na opinião de especialistas e na experiência do serviço. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever a experiência do serviço de Endocrinologia e Metabologia do Hospital Universitário de Brasília no manejo de gestantes com diabetes, bem como apresentar uma abordagem prática de insulinização nessas pacientes. ABSTRACTHyperglycaemia during pregnancy is a frequent condition and is related to many maternal-infant complications. After the first trimester, a period marked by relative insulin sensitivity, placental growth promotes the release of insulinregulating hormones, allowing hyperglycaemia to occur in the susceptible pregnant woman. In spite of the enormous pharmacological advances in the treatment of diabetes, insulin therapy is the modality of choice for pregnant women, considering the safety profile and shortage of long-term studies with other drugs. Recommendations for the treatment of gestational and pre-gestational diabetes are based on the opinion of experts and the experience of the service. The objective of this study is to describe the experience of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Service of the University Hospital of Brasília in the management of pregnant women with diabetes as well as to present a practical approach on how to use insulin in these patients.
