Insulin pump during labor: a pilot study to see if It's safe and practical
NCT ID NCT07420972
First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This pilot study will test whether it is safe and practical for pregnant women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to continue using their insulin pump during labor, instead of switching to IV insulin. About 30 women who already use an insulin pump will be allowed to keep using it during labor, following a hospital safety plan. Their outcomes will be compared to similar patients from the past who used IV insulin. The goal is to gather information to plan a larger future study.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
insulin pump (hybrid closed loop automated insulin delivery system)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could support a larger study to offer pregnant women with diabetes the option to continue using their insulin pump during labor, potentially reducing stress and improving blood sugar control.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 people) not designed to prove one method is better. It may not show clear benefits, and safety concerns could still require switching to IV insulin.
