A recent study indicates that this technology could enable pregnant women to better manage their blood sugars compared to traditional insulin pumps or multiple daily injections.Lead researcher Prof Helen Murphy, from UEA’s Norwich Medical School, said: “Despite better systems for monitoring blood sugars and delivering insulin, altered eating behaviours and hormonal changes during pregnancy, mean that most women struggle to reach the recommended blood sugar targets.
The study involved 124 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes aged 18-45 years who managed their condition with daily insulin therapy. Half were randomly allocated to use the Hybrid Closed-Loop technology, and half to use the traditional insulin therapy . Prof Murphy said: “We found that the technology helped to substantially reduce maternal blood sugars throughout pregnancy. This technology is game-changing, in that it will allow more women to have safer, healthier, more enjoyable pregnancies, with potential for lifelong benefits for their babies.
“For a long time, there has been limited progress in improving blood sugars for women with type 1 diabetes, so we’re really excited that our study offers a new option to help pregnant women manage their diabetes,” said Prof Murphy.
