For expectant mothers living with Type 1 Diabetes, unique challenges come along with the joy of pregnancy. Healthcare professionals have a vital role to play in providing support and guidance to these women.
Pregnant women with Type 1 Diabetes have an increased risk of miscarriage, macrosomia and pre-eclampsia. However, preparing prior to conception, keeping glucose levels in check, and controlling potential risk factors can reduce the risk of these harmful maternal and foetal outcomes.
We have invited leading experts to share their insights into managing Type 1 Diabetes from preconception to postpartum so that you can provide more solutions to your patients.

Dietitian Sally Marchini provides an overview of the latest research on how nutrition may affect pregnancy outcomes for women with Type 1 Diabetes
Sally is an Australian based Accredited Practising Dietitian. After being diagnosed with coeliac disease on top of Type 1 Diabetes, Sally decided to turn her adversity into a positive by studying dietetics and developing her private practice, Marchini Nutrition, to help others with complex chronic health conditions.
While Type 1 Diabetes and trying to conceive can be a challenging mix, falling pregnant and having a healthy baby are possible. In order to optimise fertility and have a healthy pregnancy, it is essential that women take some extra dietary strategies into consideration in order to improve glycaemic control.
