New research shows that automated insulin delivery technology could be a game changer for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.  The technology — known as ‘hybrid closed-loop technology’ — gives insulin doses as informed by a smartphone algorithm. The new study shows that it could help pregnant women better manager their blood sugars compared to traditional insulin pumps or multiple daily injections. Lead researcher Prof Helen Murphy from UEA said: ‘This technology is game changing, in that it will allow more women to have safer, healthier, more enjoyable pregnancies, with potential for lifelong benefits for their babies.’
