Abstract
Pregnancy with pre-existing diabetes, including both type 1 and type 2, presents unique challenges that require meticulous management to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and the developing fetus. This paper explores the multifaceted aspects of navigating pregnancy with diabetes, emphasizing the importance of preconception care, tight glycemic control, and comprehensive prenatal monitoring. Key elements include the adjustment of diabetes medications, dietary modifications, regular physical activity, and frequent blood glucose monitoring to maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Additionally, the role of multidisciplinary care teams, including endocrinologists, obstetricians, dietitians, and diabetes educators, is highlighted in providing holistic and coordinated care. Potential complications such as preeclampsia, macrosomia, and neonatal hypoglycemia are discussed, alongside strategies for their prevention and management. Advances in technology, such as continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps, are also reviewed for their potential to enhance diabetes management during pregnancy. Through proactive and vigilant care, women with diabetes can achieve favorable pregnancy outcomes, underscoring the critical importance of individualized treatment plans and continuous support throughout the gestational period.
