Artificial pancreas effective for pregnant diabetics

Diabetes poses a particular challenge for pregnant women as the hormone changes make it tough to keep tight blood sugar control at night. This research development is significant because it leads some to hope it can reduce birth-related complications, such as stillbirth, death and birth defects, in women with Type 1 diabetes, according to a recent article from Medical News Today and as reported by Diabetes Newshound.
