A recent study published in JAMA, known as the CIRCUIT trial, has shown that pregnant women with type 1 diabetes who used a closed-loop insulin delivery system had better glucose control compared to those receiving standard care.
The study found that women using the closed-loop system spent more time within the pregnancy-specific glucose range, with less time above or below targets, and had lower average glucose and HbA1c levels.
The randomized CIRCUIT trial has found that pregnant women with type 1 diabetes who used a closed-loop insulin delivery system spent significantly more time within the pregnancy-specific glucose range.
This research was summarized by Dr. Kamal Kant Kohli, a chest specialist and Chief Editor of Medical News at Medical Dialogues.
