The main causes behind decompensation of diabetes mellitus (DM) in pregnant women are consid-ered, such as metabolic and hormonal disturbancesinfluencing insulin requirement in different periods of pregnancy and variability of glycemia related to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamicproperties of insu-lin preparations. Recommended target levels of glycemia in pregnant women with DM are cited. The fre-quencyof self-monitoring blood glucose and principles of intensive insulin therapy are discussed. Advan-tages of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusionand its role in the maintenance of stable control of car-bohydrate metabolism during pregnancy are discussed.

Diabetes resistant to conventional subcutaneous insulin injection is a rare complication of insulin-dependent diabetes which poses a major management problem. We report three cases treated for a total of over seven patient years with fully implanted insulin infusion devices. Technical difficulties with the devices and their operation have been substantial but the patients are much improved and hospitalisation has been dramatically reduced. We suggest that implanted insulin pumps are a real treatment option for patients with this unusual syndrome.
