Why the study?
Does a pre-conception program to optimize glycemic control reduce spontaneous abortions and improve pregnancy outcomes in insulin-dependent diabetic patients?
Population
99 pregnant insulin-dependent diabetic patients recruited before reaching 9 weeks' gestation
Comparison
Pre-conception program to optimize glycemic… vs Prenatal care early in pregnancy
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
throughout pregnancy

May support pre-conception glycemic optimization in insulin-dependent diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does a pre-conception program to optimize glycemic control reduce spontaneous abortions and improve pregnancy outcomes in insulin-dependent diabetic patients?
Pre-conception management of insulin-dependent diabetes significantly improves early glycemic control and reduces the rate of early pregnancy loss.
