Supported Open-Source Automated Insulin Delivery for Management of Type 1 Diabetes in Pregnancy

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

SOSAID systems represent a promising tool for managing T1D in pregnancy and were successful in reaching target pregnancy glycemia in this single-center cohort.
