Documenting the frequency and severity of these clinical issues is crucial for improving the care and health-related quality of life of women with DM1. This scoping review aimed to map and describe existing research on gynecological and obstetrical issues in women with DM1 and identify research gaps.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Comprehensive searches were conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest Central, and Google Scholar, from inception to December 2023.
