This interactive breakfast workshop will explore the evolving role of automated insulin delivery in supporting women with type 1 diabetes before, during, and after pregnancy, including the importance of early consideration for all women of child-bearing age. Through expert-led discussion and practical case-based insights, the session will consider clinical decision-making, multidisciplinary care, real-world implementation challenges, and opportunities to improve outcomes for women living with diabetes in pregnancy.
