Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this observational study is to better understand what happens when pregnant people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) use automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

  • What are the maternal and neonatal outcomes with AID system use in pregnancy?
  • What are the glycemic outcomes with AID system use in pregnancy?
  • What are the behavioral and emotional outcomes with AID system use in pregnancy?

Researchers will compare pregnant people who use commercial AID systems and pregnant people who use open source AID systems to see if outcomes are different with these different types of systems.

Participants will be asked to remotely share their AID system data with the research team; complete online surveys regarding behavioral and emotional health; and sign an authorization to release health information to allow the research team to access medical records.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

Commercial AID system

Pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using commercially available automated insulin delivery (AID) systems for glycemic management in pregnancy

Open source AID system

Pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes T1D) using open source automated insulin delivery (AID) systems (also known as do-it-yourself AID systems or hacked AID systems) for glycemic management in pregnancy

Interventions

Commercial AID system

AID system that is commercially available and FDA approved for use

Open source AID system

AID system that uses unregulated open-source software to customize an insulin delivery algorithm to connect an insulin pump to a continuous glucose monitor

Primary outcome measure

  • Large for gestational age (LGA) [ Time Frame: At delivery ]
  • Core score on Type 1 Diabetes Distress Assessment Scale (T1-DDAS) [ Time Frame: From enrollment to 8 weeks postpartum ]
  • Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) [ Time Frame: From enrollment to 8 weeks postpartum. ]
  • Time in pregnancy-specific range (psTIR) [ Time Frame: From enrollment to 8 weeks postpartum. ]
