DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
MANAGEMENT
Dr . Mouna Dakar
ALL DIABETES IS NOT THE SAME
• Diabetes in pregnancy ≠ Diabetes outside of
pregnancy
Outside of pregnancy goals are :
To prevent complications of cardiovascular
disease
blindness
neuropathy
renal failure
ALL DIABETES IS NOT THE SAME
During pregnancy – goals are:
Prevent macrosomia
Prevent fetal death
Prevent other fetal complications
THIS MEANS YOU CANT TREAT THEM THE SAME
During pregnancy
• more frequent visits when not controlled
• stricter glycemic goals
DIABETES IN PREGNANCY: MANAGEMENT
APPROACHES
• Early referral to a specialist is • Individualized treatment plans,
essential1
involving a combination of:
• Collaborative effort among
obstetrician/ midwife,
endocrinologist,
ophthalmologist, registered
dietitian, and nurse educator
• All team members should be
engaged in patient
education/care prior to and
throughout pregnancy 2
• Glucose monitoring
• Medical nutrition therapy (MNT)
• Pharmacotherapy
• Exercise
• Weight management strategies
• Psychological support

CONTROL OF MATERNAL GLYCEMIA
(TARGET PLASMA GLUCOSE LEVELS)
• Fasting
• 60-90 mg/dl
• Preprandial
• 60-105 mg/dl
• 1 hr after meals
• <140 mg/dl
• 2 hr after meals
• <120 mg/dl;
GLUCOSE MONITORING
• Daily SMBG superior to intermittent monitoring
• Fasting blood sugar
• Post prandial sugars most predictive of macrosomia .
The most difficult glucose to control- post
breakfast(dawn phenomenon) most predictive of fetal
demise
• Verify glucometer with your facility’s lab
GLUCOSE MONITORING IN GDM:
SELF-MONITORING OF BLOOD
GLUCOSE
•
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the cornerstone of diabetes management in
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) 1
•
ADA guidelines for pregnant patients requiring insulin:
• SMBG ≥3 times daily
• More frequent SMBG may be required, including: 2
• Morning fasting
• Premeal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
• 1-hour postprandial (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
• Before bed 3
•
Disadvantages include:
• Potential for human error or inconsistencies in performing SMBG and/or selfreporting
• Partial glucose profile from intermittent readings; hyper- or hypoglycemic episodes
may go undetected 4

GLUCOSE MONITORING IN GDM:
CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING
• Measures glucose levels over 24-hour period1
• Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measures glucose concentration of interstitial fluid
using subcutaneous sensor tip implanted in abdominal wall 1,3
• Identifies glycemic excursions that may go undetected with SMBG1
• May be recommended when patient unable to achieve target glucose levels with SMBG
alone2
• Educational tool to improve treatment adherence4
• Benefits:
• Improved glycemic control during third trimester
• Reduced infant birth weight
• Decreased risk of infant macrosomia1,2,3

CGM DEVICES:
PROFESSIONAL VS PERSONAL
• Professional CGM devices
• Owned by a health care professional1
• Typically implanted for 3-5 days1
• Data downloaded and analyzed by a health care professional1
• Personal CGM devices
• Owned by the patient
• May be implanted for longer periods (eg, several weeks)1
• Provide continuous feedback on glucose values, which may be
read/interpreted by the patient in real time2

MANAGEMENT
DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
• Unless contraindicated, physical activity should be included in a
pregnant woman’s daily regimen
• Regular moderate-intensity physical activity (eg, walking) can help to
reduce glucose levels in patients with GDM1,2
• Other appropriate forms of exercise during pregnancy:
• Cardiovascular training with weight-bearing, limited to the upper body to avoid
mechanical stress on the abdominal region3

MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY(MNT)
• Goal: to provide calories and nutrients to sustain
pregnancy, but does not cause post-prandial
hyperglycemia
GDM AND MNT
• Two weeks trial of Medical Nutrition Therapy
• Pre-pregnancy BMI is a predictor of the efficacy
• If target glycemia is not achieved initiate insulin
• MNT – extra 300 calories in 2 and 3 rd trimesters
• Calories – 30 kcal/kg/day = 1800 kcal for 60 kg
• If BMI > 30; then only 25 kcal/kg/day
• 3 meals and 3 snacks – avoid hypoglycemia
• 50% of total calories as CHO, 25% protein & fat
• Low glycemic, complex CHO, fiber rich foods

CARBOHYDRATE BUDGET
• Breakfast
1-2 carbohydrate choices
• Lunch
3-4 carbohydrate choices
• Supper
3-4 carbohydrate choices
• Snacks (1-3 )
1-2 carbohydrate choices
• Amount of CHO typically found in a 2200 calorie diet
DIET THERAPY IN GDM
• Small, frequent meals
• Avoid eating for two
• Avoid fasts and feasts
• Avoid health drinks
• Eat a bedtime snack
TIPS FOR DIET MANAGEMENT
• Small breakfast
• Mid morning snack
• High protein lunch
• Mid afternoon snack
• Usual dinner
• Bed time snack
WHEN TO INITIATE PHARMACOTHERAPY
• GDM A1 to A2
• >2 values exceed goal in 1 to 2 weeks
• FBS >95
• 2 hour PP>120
• Fetal abdominal circumference >70% at 29-33 wks
(Buchanan diabetes care 1998)
INSULIN USE DURING PREGNANCY
Patient Education
• Insulin administration, dietary modifications in response to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), hypoglycemia
awareness and management1
Basal Insulin
• Intermediate- or long-acting insulin administered by injection, or
• Rapid-acting insulin administered by insulin pump2,3
Postprandial Hyperglycemia
• Recommended approach: rapid-acting insulin analogues2
• Alternative approach: regular insulin to control postprandial glucose spikes; must be administered 60-90 minutes prior to
meals (considered less effective than rapid-acting insulin and may increase hypoglycemia risk)3
Insulin Options
•
•
•
•
Insulin NPH: safe intermediate alternative (category B)2
Insulin detemir: safe long-acting alternative (category B)2,3
Lispro and aspart: safe rapid-acting insulin analogues (category B)2,3
Insulin glargine: frequently prescribed in pregnancy; however, safety in pregnancy has not been definitively established
(category C)2,3

DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
INSULIN DOSING
Insulin Dosing Guidelines During Pregnancy and Postpartum1
Weeks gestation
Total daily dose (TDD) of insulin†
1-13 weeks
(0.7 x weight in kg) or (0.30 x weight [lbs])
14-26 weeks
(0.8 x weight in kg) or (0.35 x weight [lbs])
27-37 weeks
(0.9 x weight in kg) or (0.40 x weight [lbs])
38 weeks to delivery
(1.0 x weight in kg) or (0.45 x weight [lbs])
Postpartum (and lactation)‡
(0.55 x weight in kg) or (0.25 x weight [lbs])
† The
total daily dose (TDD) of insulin should be split, so that 50% is used for basal insulin and 50% is used for premeal rapidacting insulin boluses
‡ Nighttime basal insulin should be decreased by 50% in lactating women (to prevent severe hypoglycemia)
• Special notes for T1DM:
• Between 10 and 14 weeks gestation, patients with T1DM undergo a period of increased insulin sensitivity; insulin
dosage may need to be reduced accordingly during this time frame
• From weeks 14 through 35 of gestation, insulin requirements typically increase steadily
• After 35 weeks gestation, insulin requirements may level off or even decline2
• Obese patients may require higher insulin dosages than non-obese individuals2

INSULIN REGIMEN
• If MNT fails after 2 - 4 weeks of trial
• Initiate Insulin + Continue MNT
• Dose: 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 u/kg – 1, 2 & 3 trim.
• Eg. 1st trim – 64 kg = 0.7 x 64 = 45 units
• Give 2/3 before BF = 30 units of 30:70 mix
• Give 1/3 before supper = 15 u of 50:50 mix
• Increase total dose by 2-4 units based on BG
• After BG levels stabilize – monitor till term

PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY: CSII
• Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII or
insulin pump therapy), consists of a syringe or
cartridge filled with short- or rapid-acting insulin that
is connected to a catheter inserted into subcutaneous
tissue.
• The pump is programmed to dispense a continuous
infusion of basal insulin.
INSULIN PUMP THERAPY/CONTINUOUS
SUBCUTANEOUS INSULIN INFUSION (CSII)
• CSII: Administration of rapid-acting insulin via insulin pump
• Safe and reliable method for satisfying basal insulin needs in pregnant patients with
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), T2DM, or T1DM1,2
•
CSII may need to be combined with CGM for optimal glycemic control in T1DM 1
• Can be used to effectively mimic physiologic insulin secretion2
• No significant difference in glycemic control for pregnancy outcomes with CSII versus
multiple-dose insulin (MDI) therapy3
• Can help address daytime or nocturnal hypoglycemia or a prominent dawn phenomenon4
• Insulin aspart and lispro are the standard of care for CSII 5
• Disadvantages of CSII:
• Complexity–requires counseling and training
• Cost
• Potential for insulin pump failure/user error or infusion site problems2,4

HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM?
MANAGEMENT OF GDM/TYPE 2
ORAL AGENTS
• First line glyburide ( not used in Type 1)
• Max dose 20mg/day
• Usual dose 5-10mg targeted for time when glucose
abnormal ( there is a 2.5mg dose)
• It’s a sulfonylurea - don’t use in patients with sulfa
allergy
• Long tail –most common side effect is hypoglycemia
ORAL HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS
GLYBURIDE
• An effective alternative to insulin in the treatment of
gestational diabetes .
• 30 –40 % failure rate in some series of studies
• Patients prefer oral agents rather than injections!
• Other agents Metformin( biguanide)
MANAGEMENT OF GDM/TYPE 2
ORAL AGENTS
• Metformin – insulin sensitizer
• Maximum dose studied 2000mg/day but have seen
patients on up to 2500.
• Crosses the placenta in appreciable amounts
• Doesn’t cause hypoglycemia
• Can be combined with glyburide
• Most common side effect is GI upset
DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY
•
•
When MNT alone fails, pharmacologic therapy is indicated
•
AACE guidelines recommend insulin as the optimal approach1
•
Insulin therapy is required for the treatment of T1DM during pregnancy2
Metformin and the sulfonylurea glyburide are the 2 most commonly prescribed oral
antihyperglycemic agents during pregnancy1,2

PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY: GDM (CONTINUED)
• Oral antidiabetes medications have been studied
during pregnancy but are not yet approved for use.
• Both glyburide and metformin have been used
successfully under research protocols.
GDM AND DELIVERY
• Delivery until 40 weeks is not recommended
• Delivery before 39th week – assess the pulmonary
maturity by phosphatase test on amniocentesis fluid
• C - Section may be needed (25 -30%)
• Be prepared for the neonatal complications
• Assess the mother after delivery for glycemia
• May need to continue insulin for a few days
• Pre-gestational DM–Insulin (30% less) or OAD

DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
LABOR AND DELIVERY
• Counsel women on diabetes management during labor and delivery1
• During the 4-6 hours prior to delivery, there is increased risk of transient
neonatal hypoglycemia1
• Labor and delivery in women with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes should
be managed by an endocrinologist or a diabetes specialist1
• Blood glucose levels should be monitored closely during labor to determine
patient’s insulin requirements
• Most women with gestational diabetes mellitus who are receiving insulin therapy will
not require insulin once labor begins 1
1. Castorino K, Jovanovic L. Clin Chem. 2011;57(2):221-30.
DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES
• The demands of diabetes management can have a substantial effect on
pregnancy1
• Individualized psychosocial interventions are likely to help improve both
pregnancy outcomes and patient quality of life1
• Include specialists in the psychological aspects of diabetes as part of the
multidisciplinary healthcare team
• Healthcare teams can help manage patients’ stress and anxiety before and
during pregnancy
• Identify and address barriers to effective diabetes management, such as fear
of hypoglycemia and an inadequate social support network

2. Jovanovic L, et al. Mt Sinai J Med. 2009;76(3):269-80.
DIABETES IN PREGNANCY:
POSTPARTUM AND LACTATION
• Metformin and glyburide are secreted into breast milk and are therefore
contraindicated during lactation1
• Breastfeeding plus insulin therapy may lead to severe hypoglycemia1
• Greatest risk is in women with T1DM
• Preventive measures are: reduce basal insulin dosage and/or
carbohydrate intake prior to breastfeeding
• Bovine-based infant formulas are linked to increased risk of T1DM1
• Avoid in offspring of women with a genetic predisposition for diabetes
• Soy-based products are a potential substitute
1. Castorino K, Jovanovic L. Clin Chem. 2011;57(2):221-30.
MAJOR GOALS
• Manage all diabetes patients with a team approach
• Major Goals:To prevent
Macrosomia,hyperbilirubenemia,birth trauma,neonatal
hypoglycemia in the baby
• To prevent: operative deliveries(including –vacuum
extraction,forceps delivery,and cesarean
deliveries),genital trauma,and prevent preeclampsia in
the mother
