Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Very limited research guides care for women with EOT2D, especially preconception and postnatal; pregnancy intervention studies (mainly medication and glucose sensor use) are mostly small with limited generalisability
Observational data suggest managing glycaemia, addressing maternal BMI and preventing excessive gestational weight gain improve outcomes in pregnancy
Qualitative data highlight the negative impact of EOT2D on pregnancy and the need for optimised support
Targeted, innovative and cross-cultural studies across the reproductive life course are urgently needed to address short- and longer-term maternal and offspring risks
