Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), and analysing differences associated to insulin glargine exposure during pregnancy.Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of pregnancies in women with DM1 (2004–2012). Variables analysed: baseline characteristics (age, time of diabetes evolution, microvascular complications, and weight), maternal outcomes (weig...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of pregnancy planning in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and analysing differences associated with unplanned pregnancy.Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of pregnancies in women with DM1 (2004–2012). Variables analysed: age, time of diabetes evolution, microvascular complications, and maternal outcomes (HbA1c, preeclampsia, abortions, and Caesarean section)...

Lipid profile suffers adaptive changes during pregnancy due to estrogen stimulation and insulin resistance. Several relations have been suggested between maternal lipid profile, glucose tolerance, endothelial cell dysfunction and long-term cardiovascular risk; the effects of maternal lipid profile metabolism in fetal growth are also inconclusive. Since a regular evaluation and follow-up of lipid profile during pregnancy has not been stablished yet, we aimed to evaluate the inc...

Objectives: Pregnant women who are overweight or obese have an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, as do pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). The objective of this study is to describe the prevalence of overweight/obesity in pregnant women with DM1, and associated complications.Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of pregnant women with DM1 (2004–2014). Variables analyzed: age, initial body mass index (B...

Introduction: Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) allows non-invasive glucose level assessment. Studies have shown that patients using FGM test their glucose levels more often than those who use traditional blood glucose testing. Given that a higher rate of glucose testing has showed to improve glycemic control our objective was to describe the change in the glycemic control and time in euglycemic range in patients with FGM and the effect of the number of scans in this control....
