Expert recommendations provide crucial guidance to leverage CGM and AID during pregnancy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The diaTribe Foundation announces the publication of the first international consensus statement on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AID) during pregnancy. Published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, the document aims to standardize care, improve outcomes, and ease the daily burden of managing type 1 (T1D), type 2 (T2D), and gestational diabetes (GDM) during pregnancy.

Managing diabetes is exceptionally challenging during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts and narrow glucose targets. As CGM and AID become standard of care in diabetes for their ability to improve management, many enter pregnancy already relying on these technologies or adopt them to help navigate this demanding time.

Despite growing use, application of technology has remained disjointed in pregnancy due to a lack of detailed clinical guidance, particularly for T2D and GDM. “Application of Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Automated Insulin Delivery Technologies for Pregnant Women with Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes or Gestational Diabetes Mellitus” was developed by experts across six continents to address this gap.

“It is absolutely possible to have a safe and healthy pregnancy with diabetes, and technologies can help—but these tools are often underutilized due to limited research, few devices approved for use in pregnancy, and a lack of clear guidance,” said Dr. Katrien Benhalima, endocrinologist and chair of the expert author group. “Publishing this consensus is a key step to ensuring that maternal healthcare for people with diabetes continues to improve as technologies evolve.”

The paper provides 14 specific recommendations, including:

• Guidance on picking AID systems and adapting settings to meet pregnancy-specific physiological needs, including detailed charts with device-specific recommendations
• Considerations for technology use during preconception, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the immediate postpartum period
• CGM time in range targets specifically for T2D and GDM, expanding upon previous standards set for T1D.

The consensus aims to support key members of the pregnancy care team who may be less familiar with diabetes technologies, including primary care and obstetrics providers, through recommendations based on the latest evidence and clinical experience. By confirming these technologies can be safely used during pregnancy, the authors also hope to increase device access and user confidence.

This initiative was led by The diaTribe Foundation and strengthened by input from 25 leading global bodies, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Breakthrough T1D, European Association for the Study of Diabetes, and World Organization of Family Doctors.

The diaTribe Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people with diabetes and advocating for action. We ensure that people have the resources and education needed to thrive with diabetes, bring people with diabetes to the conversation on regulatory issues, connect the field and the diabetes community, and change the narrative around diabetes.

• The breakthrough tackles a longstanding challenge in genetic medicine with the goal of developing a new generation of curative cell and gene therapies.
• Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA by training the largest evolutionary AI models on a new, globally collected dataset, accelerated by NVIDIA BioNeMo.
• The same versatile model also helped design novel antimicrobial peptide molecules with a 97% lab-confirmed success rate, including candidates that appeared highly potent against multidrug-resistant “superbugs.”
• Basecamp Research also adds NVentures as an investor ahead of Series C round following deep technical collaboration on EDEN models.

LONDON and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Basecamp Research, a frontier AI lab harnessing evolution to design new medicines, today announced the first AI models capable of programmable gene insertion, offering a new way to replace faulty genes and reprogram cells for therapeutic use. Trained in collaboration with NVIDIA, these models are driving the development of a new generation of treatments for cancer and inherited diseases. In parallel, Basecamp Research secured an investment from NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm) in its pre-Series C round following years of close technical collaboration, which will help the company to accelerate its research and development efforts.

“We believe we are at the start of a major expansion of what’s possible for patients with cancer and genetic disease,” said John Finn, Chief Scientific Officer at Basecamp Research. “By using AI to design the therapeutic enzyme, we hope to accelerate the development of cures for thousands of untreatable diseases, potentially transforming millions of lives.”

Programmable Gene Insertion

Programmable gene insertion – placing large therapeutic DNA sequences at precise locations in the human genome – has been a central goal in genetic medicine for decades. Existing CRISPR-based approaches can only make small edits and must damage DNA to do so, limiting where and how they can be used. Basecamp Research is the first to demonstrate that AI can design enzymes capable of performing large gene insertion at defined sites in the human genome, opening a long-sought path toward programmable therapies.

Basecamp Research’s AI-Programmable Gene Insertion (aiPGI^™) platform is powered by EDEN, a new family of evolutionary AI models developed with NVIDIA, trained on BaseData^™, the company’s proprietary genomics dataset – the largest of its kind. The models learn the language of DNA and patterns of evolution, allowing the algorithms to design new, programmable therapies for cancer and genetic disease.

In lab results published today in a paper co-authored by NVIDIA, Microsoft and leading academics, [link], the EDEN models designed multiple active insertion proteins for 100% of tested disease-relevant target sites in the human genome, requiring only the genomic target site as a prompt and marking a significant step forward in AI model capability.

Basecamp Research has already demonstrated insertion at over 10,000 disease-related locations in the human genome, including therapeutically relevant integration of cancer-fighting DNA into primary human T cells at novel safe-harbour sites. This produced CAR-T cells that show strong killing of cancer cells, showing over 90% tumour-cell clearance in laboratory assays.

AI-Designed Molecules To Fight “Superbugs”

In another key frontier therapeutic design task targeting the global drug-resistance crisis, the same model proved its versatility by designing a focused library of novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) – small proteins with the potential to kill harmful bacteria – with 97% of candidates demonstrating confirmed activity in laboratory tests. In a collaboration with University of Pennsylvania scientists led by Prof. César de la Fuente, the top-performing AMPs showed high potency against critical-priority, multidrug-resistant pathogens, offering a powerful new tool in the fight against dangerous “superbugs.”

Breakthrough powered by unique data & frontier AI models

The EDEN models that power aiPGI^™ were trained on over 10 trillion tokens of evolutionary DNA from more than one million newly-discovered species. This data was collected over five years from over 150 locations across 28 countries and five continents as part of a novel data collection strategy pioneered by the company, published in June 2025.

The largest EDEN model was trained on 1.95×10²⁴ FLOPS of compute on a cluster of 1,008 NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and accelerated with libraries from NVIDIA BioNeMo, making it comparable in scale to GPT-4 class models and placing it among the most computationally intensive biological models ever reported.

Therapeutic assets in development

These capabilities underpin Basecamp Research’s emerging pipeline of cell and gene therapies, opening the path to treatments that are more precise, predictable and personalised than those available today. The company’s goal is to develop potentially curative therapies across a range of cancer and genetic disease indications, powered by continued improvements to BaseData^™, the EDEN models and aiPGI^™.
