For the First Time, Study Identifies Time Trends in Pregnancy-Related Outcomes Among American Women with Type 1 Diabetes

July 1, 2020 sarah Jonas Pregnancy, Type 1 Diabetes

Largest US database of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes provides a first-time, big picture view of mother’s health, and neonatal and delivery outcomes.

The analysis found a threefold increase in insulin pump use at the end of the study period, compared to the start of the study, but A1c levels remained steady across the 13-year period.

Over time the study showed a trend toward pre-pregnancy obesity and unhealthy maternal weight gain.
