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 healthcare professional, are a lead character in re- writing the story for many soon-to-be parents!
Why recommend myLoop for pregnancy
The myLoop AID system is powered by CamAPS FX, the app designed and indicated for pregnancy. The app-based hybrid closed-loop algorithm communicates with a compatible CGM sensor - either Dexcom G7 or FreeStyle Libre 3 / FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus - and the Ypsopump insulin pump.
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!
The plan before the plan
About 50% of type 1 diabetes pregnancies are unplanned. Glucose management should be optimised, and safe and effective contraception should be used by all women of childbearing age.3,4
Shortening the planning
We discuss type 1 diabetes glycaemic pregnancy targets, therapy management options, results from the AiDAPT study on closed loop, and more!
‘‘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

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, 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 greatly improve glucose management but 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 rapidly lead to ketosis and DKA - even if glucose readings 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 immediately contact your diabetes team and follow their advice. Do not rely solely on the AID system to correct high glucose or clear the ketones. Always check that insulin is being delivered and use your backup insulin method (e.g. insulin injections or insulin pens), if needed.
