Mandate safe protocols & urgent response times for NHS pregnancy T1D pumps

Mandate safe protocols & urgent response times for NHS pregnancy T1D pumps — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We want the government to mandate a strict 48-hour safety protocol and legally binding emergency response times for NHS teams monitoring high-risk pregnant patients on insulin pumps and CGMs.

Additional details

Pregnancy spikes insulin sensitivity, creating a lethal risk of sudden hypoglycaemia (severe low blood sugar). Transitioning a pregnant patient onto an insulin pump without a 48-hour inpatient safety window is dangerous. Also, having a CGM is useless if specialist teams act too slowly when blood sugar drops. We are calling for a national safety framework that requires an immediate, emergency escalation protocol whenever a monitored patient’s blood sugar crashes.
