Abstract

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic auto-immune
condition. Pregnancies in this population are high risk for both mother & baby.
Pregnancy management for women with T1D involves:
Glucose monitoring, 8-12 times daily
Insulin administration, 4-8 times daily
Calculating carbohydrates and matching this to personal insulin/carbohydrate ratios
Participating in regular physical activity (PA). 

Advances in insulin therapy & glucose monitoring help women to achieve safer blood glucose levels during pregnancy. The Topol Report (2019) recommends using technology to enhanced care of chronic conditions enabling greater levels of self-management.
