Abstract

Managing diabetes in pregnancy can be overwhelming, with numerous dramatic physiologic changes taking place that require constant diligence and attention. Advances in diabetes technology have improved glycemic outcomes, well-being, and quality of life for people with type 1 diabetes of all ages. However, regulatory approval and access to diabetes technology in pregnancy has lagged behind these advancements, leaving many pregnant individuals without tools that could dramatically improve diabetes care before, during, and after gestation. Here, we review the benefits of continuous glucose monitors and automated insulin-delivery systems in pregnancy and highlight specific scientific and structural supports to help implement diabetes technology safely, effectively, and equitably in pregnancy.
