A new era of diabetes in pregnancy care is here, one in which technology is very much interwoven with glucose management. In recognition of this, the fully revised seventh edition of this manual includes updates on how continuous glucose monitoring, sensors, and other technology have become tools for pregnant people to use in order to achieve the best outcomes.
Additionally, there is increased recognition of the vast disparities that exist in healthcare access and healthcare outcomes. Where possible, this edition provides updated data on management strategies with equipoise so that each patient can receive the most individualized, high-quality care.
Topics covered include:
Preparing for pregnancy
Lifestyle management for diabetes in pregnancy
Glycemic goals and assessment
Medications for diabetes in pregnancy
Risk assessment, fetal surveillance, and delivery

We are in a new era of diabetes in pregnancy care, one in which technology is very much interwoven with glucose management. The seventh edition of this manual includes updates on how continuous glucose monitoring, sensors, and other technology have become tools for pregnant people to use in order to achieve the best outcomes. There is also increased recognition of the vast disparities that exist in healthcare access and healthcare outcomes. Where possible, this edition provides updated data on management strategies with equipoise so that each patient can receive the most individualized, high-quality care. Pregnant people with preexisting diabetes, including both types 1 and 2 diabetes, as well as individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus continue to have more complex pregnancies and are best served by a dedicated healthcare team with considerable resources to address their pregnancy needs. It is our hope that the information in this book will provide an updated road-map to assist the many healthcare professionals who assist with the care of these patients. The contributors who put together these chapters are leaders in diabetes-in-pregnancy care. Each are actively engaged in optimizing the care of pregnant people with diabetes through research, education, advocacy, and/or clinical care. We are grateful for their contributions and hope you will find this information useful in your work.
