Purpose Of Review:
The goal of this article is to review recent research of technology use, including insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and smartpens, for pregnant women with preexisting type 1 diabetes.
Recent Findings:
Recent research shows that there may be benefits from technology use in type 1 diabetes pregnancies given the changes in insulin sensitivity throughout the span of pregnancy as well as allowing for more monitoring to allow for sooner titration of insulin doses.
Summary:
There may be utility in incorporation of technology during pregnancy with appropriate medical guidance. Additional research would be helpful to further assess the ability of newer automated insulin systems to aid in tight glucose management goals during pregnancy and show value in receiving FDA approval.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
