Pregnancy and diabetes: reducing complications with technology

Women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes often have difficulty getting pregnant, due to complications from the disease, being obese or seriously underweight, or having conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. Once pregnant, they face challenges of having a safe pregnancy and delivering a healthy baby. Recent advances in diabetes technology, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and most recently hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery systems, can help women meet their pregnancy glucose targets and achieve significantly better health outcomes for themselves and their infant.
