Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Preterm delivery and maternal obesity remain common complications in pregnancies with type 1 diabetes—A nationwide study in Sweden
Authors' conclusion
Despite modern diabetes management, the distribution of GA, and consequently the risk of PTB in T1D, remained unchanged from 1998 to 2016. During the same time, maternal BMI increased, particularly in the already obese.
