Glycaemic control throughout pregnancy and risk of pre‐eclampsia in women with type I diabetes

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the influence of prepregnancy care and its effect on early glycaemic control and also the effect of glycaemic control in later pregnancy on risk of preeclampsia in women with type I diabetes. A prospective cohort study of 290 consecutive nonselected pregnancies in women with type I diabetes was performed from 1991 to 2002. We examined the relationship of monthly glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level, pre-pregnancy care, parity, diabetes duration, microvascular complication… Show more

“…It has been postulated that longer duration of exposure of the placental vessels to a hyperglycemic and hypertensive environment is harmful (15,16). In one prospective study of 290 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, an elevated A1C at 24 weeks' gestation was associated with a significantly higher risk of preeclampsia (17). However, as in our study, there are no data on glycemic control in pregnancy and the risk of preeclampsia and abruption or infarction.…”

“…Clearly, prepregnancy care plays an important role, improving early glycemic control and reducing major malformation and perinatal mortality (29). However, our recent data suggest that even the significant improvements in glycemic control achieved by women attending prepregnancy care are still "not good enough," in that they fail to reduce rates of preeclampsia and macrosomia (24,30). These complications are believed to be related to hyperglycemic excursions during the second and third trimesters (30,31), which are clearly demonstrated in this study.…”

These complications are believed to be related to hyperglycemic excursions during the second and third trimesters (30,31), which are clearly demonstrated in this study. The majority of our subjects had nearoptimal glycemic control, attended prepregnancy care, and believed that wearing CGMS was beneficial (data not shown).…”
