Real-life Application of Peripartum in-Control Algorithm Use for Automated Insulin Delivery: A Case Series

June Editorial

“…The improvements in glucose outcomes with hybrid closed loop are replicated in a case series of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes in this issue 3 . The data from a small case series of off‐label use of the Control‐IQ algorithm reflect the outcomes from people outside of pregnancy but additionally offer insights into the experience of pregnancy with a hybrid closed loop.…”

The women reported satisfaction from optimised glucose, improved sleep and reduced self-management burden with the system but notably also felt that, post-partum, staff were unfamiliar with the system with frustrations and negative feelings for the users.…”

Effect of artificial pancreas system use on glycaemic control among pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus: A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…Until now, most studies on APS use in pregnant women with T1DM have been case reports, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] with only a few available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [25][26][27][28] and non-RCTs that have small sample sizes. 29,30 We conducted the present meta-analysis of the few RCTs to assess the efficacy of APS use among pregnant women with T1DM.…”
