Abstract #1603087: Glycemic Control and Insulin Requirements Throughout Pregnancy in Women With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Pregnancy Outcome

The prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy has been increasing worldwide. In women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), precise metabolic control is important both before and during pregnancy to reduce pregnancy complications. Maintenance of good glycemic control is difficult because insulin requirements continuously change throughout pregnancy. The changes include a decrease in Insulin requirement in the first trimester, an increase in the second half of pregnancy, and falling in insulin requirements in the third trimester. The aim of this study is to determine glycemic control, insulin requirement of women with type 1 diabetes mellitus throughout pregnancy, and to correlate maternal glycemic control with maternal and perinatal outcomes.
