ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Continuous glucose monitors provide detailed information regarding glycemic control in pregnant patients with type 1 diabetes. Little data have been published examining the association between continuous glucose monitor parameters and perinatal outcomes among gravidas with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitors.OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to examine the association between perinatal outcomes and time-in-range as assessed by continuous glucose monitors used in pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes. We hypothesized that higher time-in-range would be associated with lower risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. STUDYDESIGN:
This multicenter retrospective cohort study included all gravidas with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitors who delivered from 2020 to 2022 at 5 University of California sites. Only those with continuous glucose monitor target range set to 70 to 140 mg/dL (±10 mg/dL) were included. Time-in-range (%) was recorded at 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32 weeks. The primary maternal and neonatal outcomes were preeclampsia and large for gestational age, defined as birthweight ≥95th percentile. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare median time-in-range between those with and without the primary outcomes. Log-binomial regression was used to obtain risk ratios, with adjustment for microvascular disease and years with type 1 diabetes.RESULTS:
A total of 91 patients were included. Most used an insulin pump (81%) and did not have diabetic microvascular disease (72%). Median time since diagnosis of type 1 diabetes was 16 years, and median periconception hemoglobin A1c was 6.7%. Compared with those with preeclampsia, normotensive gravidas had significantly higher time-in-range at nearly every time point. A similar pattern was observed for those with normal-birthweight infants compared with large-for-gestational-age infants. On adjusted analyses, every 5-unit increase in time-in-range at 12 weeks was associated with 45% and 46% reductions in the risks of preeclampsia and large for gestational age, respectively (preeclampsia adjusted risk ratio, 0.55; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.99; large for gestational age adjusted risk ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.29-0.99).CONCLUSION:
Higher time-in-range is associated with lower risk of preeclampsia and large for gestational age. This association is observed early in gestation, when each 5-unit increase in time-in-range is associated with â¼50% reduction in the risk of these complications. These findings can be used to counsel patients regarding the risk of pregnancy complications at specific time-in-range values, and to encourage patients that even small improvements in time-in-range can have significant impact on pregnancy outcomes. Larger studies are needed to further explore these findings and to identify optimal time-in-range to reduce perinatal complication rates.Palabras clave
