Abstract
Type One Diabetes (T1D) pregnancies are high-risk. Pre-eclampsia, foetal malformation & mortality rates remain 2-5 times greater than for non-diabetic populations Access to wearable technologies has improved pregnancy outcomes by facilitating self-management and increasing time spent in the target glucose range of 3.5-7.8mmols/L.
NICE Pregnancy guidelines recommend physical activity to reduce the risks of high blood-pressure, weight gain and deep venous thromboembolism, while promoting mental well-being.
Available wearable technologies provide feedback on glucose variability and activity during pregnancy. Integrating this data may inform and support decisions improving self-management of T1D during pregnancy.
