The future of diabetes management is now!
We live in extraordinary times in diabetes management. Times of technological innovation that make us dream of a not-so-distant future where the risks of type 1 diabetes are minimised and not an impediment for having a healthy baby and a safe pregnancy.
You, as a healthcare professional, are a lead character in re-writing the story for many soon-to-be parents!
Your guide to help you manage type 1 diabetes & pregnancy when using myLoop
Deep dive into how to counsel and care for women managing their type 1 diabetes when using myLoop hybrid closed-loop at each stage of the pregnancy journey. With the goal of shortening the planning phase, achieving safe pregnancies and deliveries, and caring for healthy mothers for many years to come!
‘‘During my first pregnancy eight years ago I used capillary testing, setting alarms every two hours through the night. I stopped driving and made sure I was accompanied overnight throughout the pregnancy for fear of a catastrophic hypo.’’
Nina Willer, midwife and T1D participating in AiDAPT study

myLoop offers patients in the age of bearing children features specially developed for their needs.
Adaptive and learning
CamAPS FX algorithm adapts insulin delivery based on current and predicted glucose values.
Personal glucose target (PGT)
PGT can be set as low as 4.4 mmol/L (80 mg/dL), matching the needs of women planning pregnancy or pregnant.
"Boost" and "Ease-off"
Use "Boost" and "Ease-off" modes to respond to unexpected fluctuations in insulin sensitivity.
Insulin pumps and Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems can significantly improve glucose management, but they do not eliminate the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Because these systems use only rapid-acting insulin, any interruption in insulin delivery (e.g., infusion set failure, pump occlusion, empty reservoir, or device malfunction) can quickly lead to ketosis and DKA — even if glucose levels are not very high. DKA is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
If you feel unwell, have persistent high glucose levels, or detect positive ketones, please contact your diabetes care team immediately and follow their guidance. Do not rely solely on the AID system to correct high glucose or clear ketones. Always confirm that insulin is being delivered, and use your backup insulin method (e.g., insulin injections or insulin pens) if needed.
