In Emilia-Romagna, the observed increase in insulin prescriptions during pregnancy between 2004 and 2010 was 232%.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by EpiCentro (ISS), a reliable public health source, citing a peer-reviewed PLOS One study (Charlton et al. 2016). The specific percentage figures were not directly verifiable in the retrievable primary source text, but the overall pattern (Emilia-Romagna's smaller increase relative to Tuscany, same study/timeframe) was corroborated.
