Outside of pregnancy, AID has led to a paradigm shift in the management of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), leading to improvements in glycemic control with lower risk for hypoglycemia and improved quality of life. As the use of AID in clinical practice is increasing, the number of women of reproductive age becoming pregnant while using AID is also expected to increase. The requirement for lower glucose targets than outside of pregnancy and for frequent adjustments of insulin doses during pregnancy may impact the effectiveness and safety of AID when using algorithms for non-pregnant populations with T1D. Currently, the CamAPS<sup>®</sup> FX is the only AID approved for use in pregnancy. A recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) with CamAPS<sup>®</sup> FX demonstrated a 10% increase in time in range in a pregnant population with T1D and a baseline glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 48 mmol/mol (6.5%). Off-label use of AID not approved for pregnancy are currently also being evaluated in ongoing RCTs. More evidence is needed on the impact of AID on maternal and neonatal outcomes. We review the current evidence on the use of AID in pregnancy and provide an overview of the completed and ongoing RCTs evaluating AID in pregnancy. In addition, we discuss the advantages and challenges of the use of current AID in pregnancy and future directions for research.</p>","PeriodicalId":15475,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139403113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated safety and efficacy of a computerized system to initialize and adjust insulin delivery settings for the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>After a 2-week continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) run-in period, adults with T1D using multiple daily injections (MDI) (N = 33, mean age 36.1 years, 57.6% female, diabetes duration 19.7 years) were transitioned to 13 weeks of Control-IQ technology usage. A computerized algorithm generated recommendations for initial pump settings (basal rate, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and correction factor) and weekly follow-up settings to optimize glycemic outcomes. Physicians could override the automated settings changes for safety concerns.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Time in range 70 to 180 mg/dL improved from 45.7% during run-in to 69.1% during the last 30 days of Control-IQ use, a median improvement of 18.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13.6-23.9, <i>P</i> < .001). This improvement was evident early in the study and was sustained over 13 weeks. Time <70 mg/dL showed a gradual decreasing trend over time.
