Diabetes and pregnancy study (DAPSY): a 10-year single-center cohort study of pregnancies affected by diabetes. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2024; 309:2643-2651.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to investigate to what degree clinical characteristics can contribute to incidence and structure of pregnancy and childbirth complications in women with diabetes, and to reveal key risk factors for adverse outcomes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study from January 2008 through December 2017, including 3069 singleton pregnancies, affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D, n = 498), type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 214), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM, n = 2357). RESULTS More than 10 years duration of T1D associated with increased risk for preterm birth (RR 2.03, 95% CI 1.28-3.20) and preeclampsia (RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.09-2.26). Diabetic nephropathy, same as diabetic proliferative retinopathy, was associated with increased risk of C-section, preeclampsia development, SGA delivery. In patients with T1D who received CSII (12%), we do not report superior outcomes compared to MDI. Pre-pregnancy HbA1c level less than 6.5% reduced the risk of preeclampsia for T1D (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.19-0.67) and risk of LGA birth for T2D (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.19-0.92). Achieving glycemic target values by full-term pregnancy reduced the risk of excessive fetal adiposity (RR 0.81 for T1D, RR 0.39 for T2D). For T2D and GDM, the leading risk factors were obesity and chronic hypertension. For patients with GDM, insulin administration and early diagnosis of GDM were the significant risk factors for adverse outcomes. CONCLUSION Diabetes during pregnancy is challenging for the clinician, but optimizing glycemic control, treatment regimens, and close attention to comorbidities can help to reduce the risks and ensure appropriate quality diabetes management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy in pregnancies affected by pregestational diabetes mellitus (DM) has generated mixed outcome data worthy of further investigation. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate clinical outcomes associated with CSII versus multiple daily injections (MDIs) in pregnant persons with pregestational DM. METHODS A predefined, systematic, librarian-assisted search of MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and World Health Organization International Clinical Trial Registry Platform (published from 2010 to 2022) yielded 3003 studies describing pregnancy outcomes associated with CSII and/or MDI for pregestational DM. The primary exposure was mode of insulin administration, with cesarean delivery and neonatal hypoglycemia as the primary maternal and neonatal outcomes, respectively. Secondary outcomes included hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, first and third-trimester glycemic control, large-for-gestational age (LGA) neonate, preterm birth, neonatal intensive care unit admission, need for respiratory support, hyperbilirubinemia, 5-minute Apgar <7, shoulder dystocia, and perinatal mortality. We calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using random-effects models. RESULTS Among 39 eligible studies, 39% of the 5518 pregnancies included were exposed to CSII. Odds of cesarean delivery were higher with CSII (20 studies: 63% vs 56%, odds ratio [OR] 1.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-1.5]), but we did not identify a difference in the odds of neonatal hypoglycemia (23 studies: 31% vs 34%, OR 1.1 [95% CI 0.9-1.5]). Among secondary outcomes, only the odds of LGA (20 studies: 47% vs 38%, OR 1.4 [95% CI 1.2-1.6]) were higher in individuals using CSII versus MDI. CONCLUSIONS Use of CSII (vs MDI) for pregestational DM in pregnancy is associated with higher odds of cesarean delivery and delivery of an LGA neonate. Further evaluation of how CSII use may influence neonatal size and delivery route is warranted.

Abstract
CONTEXT Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions (CSIIs) and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have revolutionized the management of diabetes mellitus (DM). Over the last two decades the development of advanced, small, and user-friendly technology has progressed substantially, essentially closing the loop in the fasting and post-absorptive state, nearing the promise of an artificial pancreas. The momentum was mostly driven by the diabetes community itself, to improve its health and quality of life. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Literature regarding CSII and CGM was reviewed. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Management of DM aims to regulate blood glucose to prevent long term micro and macrovascular complications. CSIIs combined with CGMs provide an integrated system to maintain tight glycemic control in a safe and uninterrupted fashion, while minimizing hypoglycemic events. Recent advances have allowed to 'close the loop' by better mimicking endogenous insulin secretion and glucose level regulation. Evidence supports sustained improvement in glycemic control with reduced episodes of hypoglycemia using these systems, while improving quality of life. Ongoing work in delivery algorithms with or without counterregulatory hormones will allow for further layers of regulation of the artificial pancreas. CONCLUSION Ongoing efforts to develop an artificial pancreas have created effective tools to improve the management of DM. CSIIs and CGMs are useful in diverse populations ranging from children to the elderly, as well as in various clinical contexts. Individually and more so together, these have had a tremendous impact in the management of DM, while avoiding treatment fatigue. However, cost and accessibility are still a hindrance to its wider application.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pregestational diabetes (PGDM) is an increasingly common and complex condition that infers risk to both mother and infant. To prevent serious morbidity, strict glycaemic control is essential. The aim of this review is to review the glucose sensing and insulin delivering technologies currently available for women with PGDM. METHODS We reviewed online databases for articles relating to technology use in pregnancy using a combination of keywords and MeSH headings. Relevant articles are included below. RESULTS A number of technological advancements have improved care and outcomes for women with PGDM. Real time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) offers clear advantages in terms of infants size and neonatal intensive care unit admissions; and further benefits are seen when combined with continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery (insulin pump) and algorithms which continuously adjust insulin levels to glucose targets (hybrid closed loop). Other advancements including flash or intermittent scanning CGM (isCGM) and stand-alone insulin pumps do not confer as many advantages for women and their infants, however they are increasingly used outside of pregnancy and many women enter pregnancy already using these devices. DISCUSSION This article offers a discussion of the most commonly used technologies in pregnancy and evaluates their current and future roles.

Abstract
Allogeneic islet of Langerhans transplantation is a recognized beta-cell replacement therapy for patients affected by type 1 diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a condition associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes for pregnant women and fetuses. We report the case of a 29-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who underwent successful allogeneic islet transplantation with simultaneous kidney transplantation. She achieved durable insulin independence after 2 islet infusions. Pregnancy was desired and planned 2 years after the last islet infusion. Multidisciplinary monitoring of pregnancy was carried out and the immunosuppressive regimen was adapted. Euglycemia was maintained throughout pregnancy without the need for exogenous insulin. After an uneventful pregnancy, she delivered on term an otherwise healthy male child with imperforate anus that was immediately surgically corrected. In conclusion, allogeneic islet transplantation is a suitable treatment for women of childbearing age with complicated type 1 diabetes mellitus, allowing physiologic glycemic control during pregnancy with a low risk of graft loss. This target can be achieved only by a tight multidisciplinary follow-up, including immunosuppressive therapy adaptation and adequate diabetes and obstetrical monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown an advantage of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) over multiple daily injections (MDI) in the general type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) population. RCT data on T1DM management in pregnancy remain limited. OBJECTIVE We performed a systematic review of both RCTs and non-RCTs evaluating CSII vs MDI in T1DM-complicated pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN Electronic databases were searched for studies comparing CSII with MDI in T1DM-complicated pregnancy. METHODS A meta-analysis provided point estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Continuous outcomes were reported as weighted mean differences (WMD) or standardised mean differences (SMD), and dichotomous data as relative risk (RR). RESULTS The search identified 47 studies, including 43 non-RCTs, reporting on 7824 pregnancies. The meta-analysis showed a lower HbA1c level with CSII vs MDI in the first trimester (WMD: -0.45%; 95%CI: -0.62, -0.27). This difference decreased in subsequent trimesters. Compared to MDI, therapy with CSII resulted in higher gestational weight gain (GWG) (WMD: 1.02 kg; 95%CI: 0.41, 1.62), and lower daily insulin dose requirements in the first (SMD: -0.46; 95%CI: -0.68, -0.24) and subsequent trimesters. Moreover, infants from the CSII group were more likely to be large for gestational age (LGA) (RR: 1.16; 95%CI: 1.07, 1.24) and less likely to be small for gestational age (SGA) (RR: 0.66; 95%CI: 0.45; 0.97). CONCLUSIONS In T1DM-complicated pregnancy, CSII compared to MDI therapy resulted in better first trimester glycaemic control; this difference decreased in subsequent trimesters. CSII therapy was associated with lower insulin requirements, higher GWG and altered risk for infants being LGA and SGA.

Abstract
AIM No data on IGF-1 and either preterm or preeclampsia have been reported so far in diabetic pregnancies. We evaluated consecutive measurements of IGF-1 for preeclampsia, preterm delivery and birth weight in type 1 diabetic pregnancy. SETTING In an outpatient university clinic, 97 pregnant women were consecutively recruited for evaluation of indicators for deterioration of diabetes status and adverse perinatal outcome. At every visit, a blood sample for measurement of IGF-1 was drawn. RESULTS IGF-1 levels from week 14 to 32 was consistently lower in women who delivered preterm compared with women whose delivered after gestational week 36; the increase in 2nd and 3rd trimester was steeper in those delivering at term than in women delivering preterm (p = 0.032). IGF-1 in preeclampsia did not show the same relation in diabetic women (p = 0.74). The lowest tertile of birth weight ratio (0.8-1.2) was associated with lower IGF-1 from week 14 to 32 (p = 0.047, adjusted for preterm delivery and preeclampsia). CONCLUSION We found low IGF-1 levels associated with preterm delivery and low birth weight.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal and fetal pregnancy outcomes of women with type 1 diabetes managed on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) compared with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Pregnancy outcomes were assessed retrospectively in women with type 1 diabetes who were patients of the Diabetes Clinic of North Karelia Hospital (Joensuu, Finland) between 2000 and 2012. The medical records of 72 women experiencing 135 pregnancies and data of their infants were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS In total, 48 pregnancies were treated with CSII and 87 with MDI. Women on CSII treatment were older and had more diabetes complications compared with women on MDI. No significant differences in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were observed between the CSII and MDI groups before or during pregnancy. Maternal or fetal outcomes did not differ between the treatment groups. However, among women with complicated diabetes, HbA1c levels were significantly lower in the CSII group until the second trimester (prepregnancy, 7.22% vs. 8.14%, respectively [P = 0.034]; first trimester, 6.85% vs. 7.87% [P < 0.001]; second trimester, 6.41% vs. 7.03% [P = 0.029]) without an increased rate of maternal hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy outcomes were similar regardless of insulin treatment modality. Although using an insulin pump did not result in improvement of pregnancy outcomes, it allowed for better glycemic control in pregnancies of women with complicated diabetes. Therefore, it is worth considering in high-risk T1DM pregnancies, especially if good glycemic control is not achieved otherwise.

Abstract
AIMS To provide a systematic review of the current evidence concerning the diabetes-related outcomes of patients provided with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for treating diabetes mellitus while a hospital inpatient. METHODS Relevant publications were obtained from MEDLINE and EMBASE databases concerning hospital inpatients with diabetes being treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. Studies were assessed independently by two reviewers, and data on the following outcomes were extracted: inpatient mortality; clinical complications, e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis; hyperglycaemia; hypoglycaemia; length of hospital stay; mean bedside glucose level; and glucose level on discharge. Obstetric cases were examined separately to look at maternal and neonatal glycaemic outcomes. RESULTS A total of 11 studies met the required criteria and were analysed in detail, 5 of which were predominantly obstetric. No significant complications were reported, with no incidences of death, ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycaemia. Length of hospital stay appeared to be shorter in those patients who remained on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, while data on mild hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia were inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS There are limited data available to form a significant conclusion about the safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion continuation in hospital; however, its use can be justified with the presence of a specialized inpatient diabetes team for advice and support and an alternative treatment regime (e.g. subcutaneous basal bolus) should be accessible if the need were to arise.

Abstract
We systematically reviewed the effectiveness and safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with insulin analogs compared with multiple daily injections (MDI) in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus. We searched Medline®, Embase®, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through May 2013. Studies comparing CSII with MDI in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus were included. Studies using regular insulin CSII were excluded. We conducted meta-analyses where there were two or more comparable studies based on the type of insulin used in the MDI arm. Seven cohort studies of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes reported improvement in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in both groups. Meta-analysis showed no difference in maternal and fetal outcomes for CSII versus MDI. Results were similar when CSII was compared with MDI with insulin analogs or regular insulin. Studies had moderate to high risk bias with incomplete descriptions of study methodology, populations, treatments, follow up, and outcomes. We conclude that observational studies reported similar improvements in HbA1c with CSII and MDI during pregnancy, but evidence was insufficient to rule out possible important differences between CSII and MDI for maternal and fetal outcomes. This highlights the need for future studies to examine the effectiveness and safety of CSII with insulin analogs and MDI in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus.
