Continuous glucose monitoring during pregnancy in healthy mice
Abstract During pregnancy, metabolic adaptations occur to maintain the balance between maternal and foetal growth, including increased insulin secretion and decreased insulin sensitivity. When the body fails to adjust, gestational diabetes mellitus develops. To gain insight in the pregnancy-induced...

Abstract During pregnancy, metabolic adaptations occur to maintain the balance between maternal and foetal growth, including increased insulin secretion and decreased insulin sensitivity.

We show that healthy mice during a full pregnancy develop adaptations in glucose homeostasis reminiscent of those in pregnant women.
