| Abstract | Insulin infusion pump treatment (CSII) in pregnancy was compared with conventional therapy (IIT) in 12 pregnant diabetic women. In patients poorly controlled on IIT a plasma glucose equilibrium was achieved with CSII (mean of: glucose levels = 84 vs 137 mg/dl; SD = 36 vs 63 mg/dl; MAGE = 65 vs 112 mg/dl). In patients well controlled on IIT, CSII led to a reduction in the variation of glucose excursions (SD = 29 vs 36 mg/dl; MAGE = 48 vs 76 mg/dl). CSII generally led to a reduction of 20-37% of daily insulin dose but in 3 cases there was an increase of dose with the achievement of glycaemic control. A significant relation between bolus/basal ratio of insulin daily dose and the quality of glycaemic control was also found during CSII. All infants were born at or near to term and none were macrosomic or had neonatal complications. It is concluded that CSII is highly efficient in pregnancy not only in type I but also in type II or gestational diabetes. |
