Automated Insulin for Management of Intrapartum Glycemia

The goal of this clinical trial is learn if automated insulin delivery (AID) systems can be used for glucose management during labor/delivery for pregnant people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The main questions this study aims to answer are

* What are the neonatal glycemic outcomes with use of AID systems during labor/delivery? * Do patients report higher birth satisfaction with use of AID systems during labor/delivery? * Are glycemic parameters like time-in-range (TIR) better with use of AID systems during labor/delivery?

Researchers will compare AID systems to intravenous (IV) insulin (the current standard of care for glucose management during labor/delivery) by randomly assigning participants to one or the other.

Treatment and study plan

Automated insulin delivery (AID) system

Device

An AID system incorporates data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to automatically adjust the amount of insulin delivered by an insulin pump via an algorithm that incorporates multiple factors, including predicted glucose level in the next 30-60 minutes, target glucose level, and recent insulin delivery.

Intravenous (IV) insulin

Other

Variable rate IV insulin infusions are used in most labor/delivery units as the standard of care for glycemic management for pregnant people with T1D. A continuous rate of IV insulin is infused, with manual rate adjustments made based on current glucose level and hospital-specific protocols.

Primary outcomes

  1. First neonatal glucose value

    Time frame: Within 2 hours of birth

    A primary clinical goal of intrapartum glycemic management is to minimize the likelihood of low neonatal glucose values (hypoglycemia).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Birth Satisfaction Scale Revised (BSS-R) score

    Time frame: Within 2 weeks of delivery

    The BSS-R is a 10-item, multi-dimensional, psychometric instrument that has been validated as a measure of birth satisfaction. This endpoint was selected to adequately assess patient perception of quality of care received and labor-related stress experienced.

  2. CGM-derived glycemic parameters

    Time frame: From admission to labor/delivery unit to birth of infant

    Glycemic parameters like time in range (TIR), time below range (TBR), and time above range (TAR) will be examined as markers of intrapartum glycemia
