Pregnancies with diabetes are increasing in the United States. Much has been written for the physician about the importance of medical care before a woman becomes pregnant to achieve the best results for both mom and baby. Physicians refer to the care before pregnancy as preconception counseling. Many countries as well as the US, have guidelines for the care of women with diabetes. These guidelines agree that preconception counseling should be routine for all women with both Type 1 and Type 2...
Show morePregnancies with diabetes are increasing in the United States. Much has been written for the physician about the importance of medical care before a woman becomes pregnant to achieve the best results for both mom and baby. Physicians refer to the care before pregnancy as preconception counseling. Many countries as well as the US, have guidelines for the care of women with diabetes. These guidelines agree that preconception counseling should be routine for all women with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus, but some studies have found that only 50% of women receive this vital care. We propose a simple way that a woman with diabetes can advocate for a healthy pregnancy by knowing 5 Numbers. These 5 Numbers can make a positive difference in the mothers health and that of her unborn baby. Although these 5 numbers are not all there is to being ready to become pregnant, knowing these 5 numbers can help start the conversation with her physicians and begin the journey to the very best she can be before a pregnancy.

Show moreObjective: Women with diabetes have increased risks of pregnancy-related complications. Knowledge of preventing these risks can be helpful. This paper describes the understanding and knowledge of diabetes and reproductive health of adolescent females with type 1 diabetes (T1D).Research Design and Methods: For this secondary analysis, a descriptive mixed-method design was employed using baseline data from adolescents enrolled in a preconception counseling (PC) intervention study (READY-Girls program) targeting adolescent women with diabetes to enhance reproductive health awareness, knowledge, beliefs, decision-making skills and behaviors. Participants (aged 13-20yrs) were recruited from 2 university-based diabetes clinics. Content analysis was used to identify recurring themes on 3-open-ended computer-based questions regarding the understanding of diabetes and pregnancy, contraception, and PC; kappa coefficients were used to assess inter-coder agreement. Subscale scores from multiple-choice vignettes were computed in terms of 100% correctness (<70%indicated low levels) for knowledge of diabetes and pregnancy, contraception, and PC. Qualitative and quantitative results were compared.Results: Participants (n=101) were on average 15.8yrs, 21% were sexually active with a mean age at sexual debut of 15.3yrs. Overarching themes from qualitative data were that participants knew little or nothing and had misconceptions regarding diabetes and pregnancy, contraception, and PC. Inter-coder agreement for content analysis was high. Knowledge scores were low (diabetes and pregnancy, 64.5%; diabetes and contraception, 79.8%; PC, 67.5%).Conclusion: Risky behavior and low knowledge scores confirmed their perceived lack of understanding from the open-ended questions regarding diabetes and pregnancy and PC. Teens had greater knowledge of contraception. Diabetes education should include PC and reproductive health for teens with diabetes.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication that occurs during pregnancy, and the rate of diagnosis in the United States is on the rise. Early screening and treatment of GDM has the potential to make a positive difference for mothers and their infants. Multiple approaches for the screening of GDM have been recommended, including a two-step approach and a one-step approach. Since GDM may lead to an increased risk of birth defects, or may result in the development of type 2...
Show moreGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication that occurs during pregnancy, and the rate of diagnosis in the United States is on the rise. Early screening and treatment of GDM has the potential to make a positive difference for mothers and their infants. Multiple approaches for the screening of GDM have been recommended, including a two-step approach and a one-step approach. Since GDM may lead to an increased risk of birth defects, or may result in the development of type 2 diabetes for the mother after delivery, early treatment of GDM through diet, exercise, and possibly the administration of insulin and other medication can increase the chances of positive results.

Show moreMartin Wood, Editor in Chief, introduces the topic for The PLAID Journal's second issue, "Pregnancy & Diabetes.""This issue is for those of us that simply need to know that someone 'gets it' when it comes to the thoughts and feelings that we have about pregnancy and diabetes. Its that defiant voice that stands up and acknowledges that it is absolutely possible to have a perfectly healthy child when we have diabetes. Too often we accept that people with diabetes cant or shouldn't have babies, yet the evidence suggests otherwise, and we see people overcoming obstacles every day to nurture and grow their families. I am inspired to see so many amazing and courageous people in this issue who are proving to the world that we can do this, even with diabetes."

The purpose of this study was to determine the challenges and needs of these partners.Research Design and Methods: In this qualitative study, in-depth interviews were conducted with 19 partners of people with type 1 diabetes. A semi-structured interview guide was used during the interviews. Thematic analysis was conducted using qualitative data management and analysis software.Results: The analysis of the interviews revealed that partners face numerous challenges in the caregiving of their partner. Partners reported struggling with: (1) emotional strain from fear and distress over diabetes symptoms and complications that results in caregiver burden; (2) determining how to avoid relationship conflict; and (3) knowing how to provide life sustaining care during diabetes medical emergencies.Conclusions: Partners of people with diabetes would benefit from diabetes education targeting emergency care and the psychosocial impacts of diabetes. This additional education could potentially ease the emotional strains of caregiving.
