Abstract
The landscape for managing type 1 diabetes during pregnancy has been transformed by increasing use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Women are aiming for pregnancy-specific glucose targets or 70% time in range for pregnancy (TIRp; 63-140 mg/dL) as soon as possible, knowing that every extra 5% TIRp has benefits for reducing the risks of complications in their babies. Ongoing monitoring of maternal A1C (at pregnancy confirmation and at 20, 28, and 36 weeks' gestation) remains useful. Intensification of glycemic management and instruction in using CGM (if not already used) is recommended for individuals with an A1C >6.0% after 20 weeks. A better understanding of CGM-documented glycemic changes throughout pregnancy is needed to inform future management of gestational diabetes and pregnancy in people with type 2 diabetes. Research regarding overcoming barriers to CGM use and optimal TIRp targets for pregnant individuals with type 2 diabetes from diverse racial/ethnic groups is urgently needed.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Diabetes Spectrum: From Research to Practice is to assist health care professionals in the development of strategies to individualize treatment and diabetes self-management education for improved quality of life and diabetes control. These goals are achieved by presenting review as well as original, peer-reviewed articles on topics in clinical diabetes management, professional and patient education, nutrition, behavioral science and counseling, educational program development, and advocacy. In each issue, the FROM RESEARCH TO PRACTICE section explores, in depth, a diabetes care topic and provides practical application of current research findings.
