Introduction: Pregestational diabetes is a threatening condition for pregnancy; a strict glycemic control can decrease some pregnancy complications. That control can be achieved while on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) treatment or with subcutaneous insulin infusion systems (CSII). Up to now no benefits of CSII treatment over MDI on pregnancy outcomes have been proved.Design: Case control retrospective study, comparing glycemic control and pregna...

Introduction: Several studies have shown that treatment with insulin pump is an effective therapy for selected type 1 diabetes. Nevertheless, most of them analyse results in short period of time. The objective of this study is to evaluate long term effects on quality of life (DQOL) and metabolic control of CSII.Material and methods: We did a longitudinal study of type 1 diabetic patients previously treated with multiple daily insulin (MDI) therapy who in...

Introduction: Simultaneous pancreas kidney transplant (SPK) is a prime line treatment option in patients with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney failure. The glucose control during perioperatory period can be a prognostic factor for transplant. Actually, the utility of the continuous glucose monitoring is not well defined. Our objective was to study the utility of a continuous glucose monitoring system during the simultaneous pancreas kidney transplant.M...
