Examine gestational safety, glycemic and health outcomes, of a hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system without pregnancy-specific glucose targets. This was a pilot feasibility investigator-initiated, two-site, single-blind, randomized controlled trial of sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT) versus HCL therapy in type 1 diabetes pregnancies. Participants were enrolled in the first trimester and randomized at 14-18 weeks of gestation and used SAPT or HCL until 4-6 weeks postpartum.

Background: Pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience high levels of glycemic variability, which may be associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Therefore, strategies that help pregnant women with T1D manage their glycemic control are of great interest.

Methods: We examined associations with or without remote monitoring of Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) data by friends and family with indices of glycemic control and glycemic variability during pregnancies complicated by T1D in a pilot non-randomized trial ( = 28).

We aimed to evaluate relationships between time-in-range (TIR 63-140 mg/dL), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, and the glucose management indicator (GMI) in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from 27 women with type 1 diabetes were collected prospectively throughout pregnancy. Up to 90-days of CGM data were correlated with point-of-care HbA1c levels measured in the clinic at each trimester.

In exploratory analyses, we evaluated glycemic variability (GV) and gestational outcomes in pregnant women ( = 28) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Gestational age at delivery was higher for women with lower glycemic measures, including estimated HbA1c (eHbA1c) (0.14% decrease in HbA1c per 1-week greater gestational age,  = 0.

Background: To examine whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with remote monitoring by followers (family/friends) changes glucose management, follower interventions, and health outcomes compared to CGM alone in pregnant women with diabetes.

Methods: We prospectively stratified first trimester pregnant women with Type 1 Diabetes to CGM Share (remote monitoring) or CGM Alone. We enrolled a main follower per woman.

The glycemic goals of pregnancy are very narrow to reduce excess risks for numerous maternal and fetal complications. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) may help women achieve glucose goals and reduce hypoglycemia. CGM use has been found to be safe and effective in pregnancies associated with diabetes.

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally. Technology to improve care among individuals with diabetes is constantly being developed. Women living with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) have unique challenges affecting their glucose control relating to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause.
