“…Recently Trossarelli and associates reported insulin and glucose values in women using the same monophasic gestodene preparation for one year. Although both glucose and insulin values increased, the changes were not statistically significant [11].…”

Carbohydrate metabolism after three months of using a gestodene-containing monophasic oral contraceptive

et al. 1992

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Carbohydrate metabolism was prospectively evaluated in twenty-one normal women prior to and during their use for three months of a monophasic oral contraceptive containing the progestin gestodene plus ethinyl estradiol. The women had a three-hour oral glucose tolerance test using a 75 gram glucose load, measuring serum glucose and insulin levels. The results demonstrate no significant changes in either of the carbohydrate metabolic indices between the two tests. These data support the safety of this new progestin-containing contraceptive.
