Modify medication!

Dyslipidemia, if not pharmacologically treated, seldom poses a threat to the health of a woman with diabetes during the comparatively short duration of pregnancy and, typically, the relatively few months leading up to conception. Also, there is uncertain safety of statins during pregnancy. So, proceed to necessary modification of medication according to the following:

R1.9a Discontinue statins. (1++)

R1.9b Discontinue fibrates. (2++)

R1.9c Bile acid bindings’ use may continue, yet is seldom warranted. (2++)
