Abstract
Type 1
diabetes (T1D) management during pregnancy presents unique challenges,
especially in resource-limited settings. This study explores the perspectives
of Indian healthcare providers on hyperglycemia management in pregnant women
with T1D. Key challenges identified include limited access to continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pump therapy, and multidisciplinary care. Using
a qualitative, multi-center approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with
endocrinologists, obstetricians, and diabetes educators from urban and rural
regions. Key challenges identified include limited access to continuous glucose
monitoring (CGM), insulin pump therapy, and multidisciplinary care. Financial
constraints, lack of patient awareness, and delayed diagnosis further hinder
optimal glycemic control. Insights from this research offer valuable
recommendations for policymakers and healthcare professionals to improve
maternal and fetal outcomes in T1D pregnancies.
The
session will provide insight to the significant challenges healthcare providers
face in managing hyperglycemia during pregnancy in T1D in India. The importance
of individualized care, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the development of
region-specific guidelines will be discussed during the session. By sharing key
insights from this study, I aim to highlight actionable strategies to optimize
maternal and fetal health outcomes in similar resource-constrained settings.
