Conditions
Keywords
gestational diabetes, continuous glucose monitoring, glycemic Control
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if Continuous glucose monitoring improves glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Detailed description
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance that is first identified during pregnancy, excluding diabetic patients diagnosed before pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to determine if Continuous glucose monitoring improves glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Interventions
Patients in the intervention group will receive Continuous Glucose Monitoring(CGMS) every 4 weeks since diagnosed with GDM,and the control grouponly once receive CGMS during the last month and have management adjusted based on the CGMS readings Other Name: iPro, Medtronic

Study design
Intervention model description
This is a open-label, randomized controlled trial. The investigators plan to recruit 154 women with gestational diabetes at 24-28 weeks gestation. 77 subjects (Group 1) will be selected to undergo CGM every 4 weeks and another 77 subjects will be recruited to undergo usual antenatal care ,and last month undergo CGMS (Group 2). The primary outcomes will be time in range of glycaemic control in the third trimester. The investigators also plan to assess changes to management made by the endocrinologist based on the additional information on glycemic control obtained from professional CGM use. The investigators also plan to compare hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia detection rates using the CGMS and fingerstick methods of glucose evaluation. Written and informed consent will be obtained in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration.
