Course: Comprehensive Management of Type 2 Diabetes During Pregnancy

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2023-03-10

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with maternal and offspring complications (eFigure in the ). Although the prevalence of type 1 diabetes during pregnancy has remained stable, the prevalence of T2D has increased from 1.8 to 7.3 per 1000 deliveries in the past 10 years. The pathogenesis of T2D leads to progressive insulin resistance, defective pancreatic beta cell insulin secretion, and inappropriate glucagon secretion by the alpha cells. The multiorgan metabolic dysregulation of T2D complicates the dynamic physiologic and metabolic changes necessary during pregnancy to grow and develop a healthy fetus. Therefore, addressing the factors that affect the metabolic complexity of T2D optimizes glycemia and promotes a healthier intrauterine environment.
