Figures

Fig 1 Data on 107 singleton pregnancies (showing means with standard deviations), from Taylor et al. Average insulin dose does not change until around 18 weeks' gestation and then increases steadily until around 28 weeks' gestation. The average fall in insulin dose of 5% between weeks 34 and 38 conceals wide individual variation
None
Fig 2 The risk of all congenital malformations is increased above the background population rate of 2%, even in women with type 1 diabetes with normal HbA1c concentrations. The risk increases sharply with increasingly poor blood glucose control. Data from Rosenn et alw13
