Abstract: OBJECTIVE -To describe pregnancy outcome in type 1 diabetic women with normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria, or diabetic nephropathy after implementation of an intensified antihypertensive therapeutic strategy.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -Prospective study of 117 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. Antihypertensive therapy, mainly methyldopa, was given to obtain blood pressure Ͻ135/85 mmHg and urinary albumin excretion Ͻ300 mg/24 h. Blood pressure and A1C were recorded during pregnancy.

“…HbA 1c was measured on a DCA 2000 analyzer by a latex immunoagglutination inhibition method (DCA 2000; Bayer, Mishawaka, IN). Blood pressure was measured as formerly described (25), and if >135/85 mmHg, treatment was initiated (29). Elevated urine albumin excretion was defined as albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/mmol in a random urine sample (25).…”

“…Contraceptive counseling should reinforce the risk for first trimester congenital malformations associated with ACE and ARB therapies and the need to switch immediately to alternative safer therapy during pregnancy. [97,98] Young women who have uncontrolled hypertension or MA are at increased risk for preeclampsia, premature delivery and lower infant birth weight in addition to the increased pregnancy complications and congenital anomalies related to diabetes in their offspring.
