Introduction

This new Joint Guideline from the Endocrine Society and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) recommends women with diabetes receive proper preconception care and access to emerging diabetes technology and therapeutics to manage their blood sugar before, during and after pregnancy. 

Adverse pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriages or birth defects are common in individuals with pre-existing diabetes and are often related to modifiable factors such as maternal high blood sugar and body mass index (BMI).

Screening women of reproductive age who have diabetes for intent to conceive at every reproductive, diabetes and primary care visit helps ensure they get the appropriate preconception care and reduces health risks.
