Effect of Telemedicine on Outcomes in Pregnant Women With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Few studies have researched the use of telemedicine in the management of type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. These studies are additionally limited due to the number of patients as well as several secondary outcomes reported. Therefore, this study will enroll 100 participants to reach a power of 81.8% with HbA1c as a primary outcome and secondary outcomes related to diabetic management such as frequency of hypoglycemia, antenatal hospital stay (percentage requiring admission, length of stay), miscarriage, cesarean section rates, induction of labor, fetal birth weight, gestational age at birth or preterm birth (<34 weeks, <37 weeks), frequency of neonatal hypoglycemia, shoulder dystocia, neonatal death, major and minor anomalies, and neonatal intensive care admission.
