Originally presented on: 5/3/2023
Expiration date: 5/3/2026

This webinar will provide an overview of diabetes in pregnancy, including pre-existing type 1 and type 2 and gestational diabetes. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes, target blood glucose goals in pregnancy and the importance of preconception counseling and care will be reviewed. The benefits of medical nutrition therapy, exercise and diabetes medications will be discussed. The presenters will describe blood glucose monitoring and the role of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in glycemic management in diabetes and pregnancy. Transitions of care and postpartum care follow up for pre-existing type 1 and type 2 diabetes and Gestational diabetes will be included.
