Capstone Change Proposal

Background

Diabetes remains one of the problems that women deal with during pregnancy. Some

women are usually aware that they have diabetes before getting pregnant, and they can manage it

throughout their pregnancy period. Nevertheless, statistics reveal that between 6 and 9 percent of

women in the United States develop either Type 1 or 2 diabetes during pregnancy. Gestational

diabetes is not present during the first weeks of pregnancy and can be detected during the second

trimester. Diabetes poses a serious problem during pregnancy as it could cause high blood

pressure, low blood sugar, and an extra-large baby who could require an emergency caesarian

section for delivery. It is, therefore, necessary for women to monitor their blood sugar level to

ensure that they remain healthy throughout the pregnancy period.

Traditionally, clinicians have recommended the lancet device to control blood sugar,

where the individual pricks their finger to measure blood sugar. Over time, technological

advancements have led to the development of new tools for blood sugar testing, such as the

Dexcom G6, for testing blood sugar. The technology is preferred since the individual does not

have to prick their finger to test their blood sugar.

blood glucose level since they have no prior experience. Nevertheless, the most significant

problem lies in the fact that the patient has to use the lancet device that requires them to prick
