Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) may be an alternative to multiple daily injections (MDI) in pre-gestational diabetes during pregnancy. However, no clear improvement in obstetric and perinatal outcome has so far been established for CSII treatment. METHODS: In a case-control study, 35 pregnancies treated with CSII and 64 pregnancies treated with MDI treatment were evaluated. Metabolic control and obstetric and perinatal outcome were compared. RESULTS: Women in the CSII group improved their metabolic control (hemoglobin A1c before CSII, 7.83 +/- 0.97%; 3-6 months after, 6.77 +/- 0.61%; P < 0.05). Hemoglobin A1c before pregnancy was lower in the CSII group (6.62 +/- 0.60%) than in the MDI group (7.59 +/- 1.61%) (P < 0.05). No other significant differences, either in metabolic control of diabetes or in obstetric and perinatal outcome, were found. CONCLUSIONS: CSII treatment is safe in pregnancy, but it has not yet been associated with any improved pregnancy outcome.
