Key Points

  • This study aims to identify risk factors for preeclampsia in women with type 1 diabetes across different pregnancy trimesters.
  • Data were derived from 5 IRB-approved pregnancy studies.
  • Pregnancies with continuous glucose monitoring use at least 60% were included.
  • Logistic regression models assessed associations between exposures and preeclampsia, adjusted for confounders.
  • Of 171 pregnancies, 37 (21.6%) developed preeclampsia.
  • Lower pregnancy time-in-range and higher time-above-range were linked to increased odds of preeclampsia (p<0.01).
  • Mean HbA1c was strongly associated with preeclampsia, especially in the second trimester (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.45-5.00, p=0.002).

Abstract

Introduction and Objective: PE causes morbidity and mortality in women with T1D. Methods: Data were obtained from 5 IRB-approved pregnancy studies. T1D pregnancies with CGM use ≥60% were included. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics (pregnancy time-in-range (pTIR), time-above-range (pTAR), and mean sensor glucose MSG), HbA1c, mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) were collected by trimester and overall in pregnancy. Separate multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to assess associations between individual exposures and PE by time period, adjusted for confounders, and reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Among 171 pregnancies, 37 (21.6%) developed PE. In first and second trimesters, lower pTIR, and higher pTAR and MSG were significantly associated with increased odds of PE (Models A, B, and D, p0.01 for all, Table), independent of T1D duration and BP. Mean HbA1c demonstrated strong, independent associations with PE across all trimesters, especially in the second trimester (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.45-5.00, p = 0.002). T1D duration was associated with PE risk in early and mid-pregnancy, while mean SBP and DBP were not. Conclusion: Optimizing glycemia is critical early in pregnancy as CGM metrics were most strongly associated with PE in early and mid-pregnancy in women with T1D. HbA1c demonstrated consistent associations across trimesters. Disclosure K. Valdez: None. S. Polsky: Research Support; Current; Leona M. and Harry B.
