Abstract: Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with maternal and fetal/neonatal complications related to maternal hyperglycemia, which could be reduced thanks to an optimal glycemic control. The aim of our study was to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in a cohort of women with GDM, in order to demonstrate metformin’s safety and efficacy.
