| Abstract |
This study assesses the impact of pregnancy and pre-pregnancy care on longer-term treatment goals in women with diabetes. This retrospective study included women with Type 1 (n = 247) and Type 2 diabetes (n = 137) who were evaluated before, during and after pregnancy. Among women with Type 1 diabetes, average HbA1c at 12 months post-partum was similar to the preconception level [63 vs. 64 mmol/mol (7.9% vs. 8.0%), P = 0.60]. This was also the case for women with Type 2 diabetes [52 vs. 52 mmol/mol (6.9% vs. 6.9%), P = 0.79]. At 12 months post-partum, there was no improvement in other measures of diabetes control and one in five women are lost to follow-up from clinical care. In total, 44.9% of women with Type 1 diabetes and 27.7% of those with Type 2 diabetes attended pre-pregnancy care. Attendees maintained superior glycaemic control throughout the study and were more likely to be receiving specialist care post-partum. These findings identify a need to change our approach to the reproductive care of women with diabetes. In particular, efforts should be made to ensure all women have access to and attend pre-pregnancy care, and barriers to engagement with post-partum care should be addressed.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 May 2017.
All research outputs
#4,905,312
of 24,561,012 outputs
Outputs from Diabetic Medicine
#1,030
of 3,765 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#82,165
of 313,669 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetic Medicine
#13
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,561,012 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,765 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 313,669 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
