Innovative Prenatal Care for Diabetes in Pregnancy: Integrating Technology, Education, and Care Models.

Abstract

Over the past few decades, the prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy has increased significantly necessitating innovative methods to optimize care for patients. Group prenatal care has emerged as a promising model in response to rising health care costs and declining patient satisfaction with traditional care approaches. Although traditionally used for low-risk patients, group prenatal care has expanded to pregnant patients with diabetes. The role of technology for diabetes in pregnancy has also expanded to include continuous glucose monitors, electronic data repositories, and remote glycemic monitoring. This review aims to examine existing literature on innovative prenatal care in the context of diabetes.
