Study Summary

Myo-inositol has been shown to decrease the rate of diabetes in pregnancy in European studies. It is not known exactly how this occurs or what it does to the sugar when the supplement is taken. This study purpose is to look at the patient's sugar levels while taking the supplement to see if the overall levels of sugar go down. We hypothesize that in addition to sugar levels, other hormones influencing diabetes will be altered.
