Background: To explore the relationship between maternal glycaemic control and fetal abdominal circumference in pregnancies complicated by T1D.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 81 pregnant women with T1D using CGM. Inclusion criteria were T1D, CGM use, ≥2 in-house ultrasounds, and the birth of a live singleton neonate between 1st December 2019 and 1st December 2022.
Objectives: Regular exercise is recommended for people with type 1 diabetes (PWD) to improve their health, but many do not meet recommended exercise targets. Educational resources supporting PWD to exercise exist, but their value is unclear. To determine the need for improved exercise resources in Australia, we surveyed adult PWD and health providers (HPs) about their confidence in managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) around exercise, barriers to exercise, and the adequacy of current resources.
