OBJECTIVE: To survey the effect of tight glycemic control by insulin pumps, of pre-gestational Type 1 diabetic women on pregnancy outcome. METHODS: Twelve consecutive Type 1, insulin pump treated, diabetic patients followed in the high risk maternal - fetal clinic were ascertained. Data regarding glucose control was assessed and correlated with pregnancy outcome. RESULTS: A total of 14 deliveries (10 singleton) were assessed. There were no miscarriages, one baby that was born with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). Glycemic control was within the acceptable guidelines. HbA1c (%) by trimesters: 6.5 +/- 0.9, 5.9 +/- 0.7, 5.8 +/- 0.6 and average glucose (mg/dL) 121.0 +/- 15.2, 114.8 +/- 13.2, 116.0 +/- 21.1. Average birth weight was 3312.1 +/- 750.2 g with five babies (35%) weighting over 4.0 kg at birth. Birth weight was significantly correlated with HbA1c at the first trimester, mean glucose at trimester 1 and 2, and maternal weight at delivery (r = 0.74, p = 0.045; r = 0.72, p = 0.051; r = 0.74, p = 0.046; r = 0.74, p = 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our study of a limited number of patients suggest that women with pre-gestational diabetes obtaining acceptable glycemic goals with insulin pump therapy have increased risk of macrosomia. Current glycemic goals and therapies in treating pre-gestational diabetic patients therefore might not be sufficient to normalise pregnancy outcomes in of women with pre-gestational diabetes.
