Summary

Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) affects about 0.1-0.2% of all pregnancies. T1DM in pregnancy increases the risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGM) provide a continuous display of measured glucose. Studies have shown improved pregnancy outcomes for patients with T1DM using CGM when compared to capillary blood glucose measurements. This prospective observational study analyses impact of glycemic variability on development of large-for-gestational-age neonates and effects of hypoglycemia during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes. Furthermore, overall glycemic regulation, different insulin metrics and C-peptide concentration during pregnancy will also be assesed.

Detailed description

Up to 200 patients with type one diabetes will be enrolled in the study during first trimester of pregnancy. Medical history, clinical examination, anthropometric measurements and laboratory work-up will be obtained at first visit. Glucose metrics are provided from continuous glucose monitoring systems and blood glucose measurements . Following the initial evaluation, patients will be regularly examined in the hospital setting once a month during pregnancy. Following evaluations will include the same procedures as the first one. Pregnancy outcomes that will be analysed: spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, large-for-gestational-age neonates, macrosomia, small-for-gestational-age neonates, birth weight, congenital anomalies, APGAR score, neonatal hypoglycemia, intensive care unit admission for mother and/or infant.
