Accuracy of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring during caesarean delivery in pregnant women with insulin-treated diabetes

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Prospective diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

The accuracy of isCGM during caesarean delivery was good, particularly for glucose values between 70 and 110 mg/dL, when CG confirmation could be safely avoided.

Study context

Population
Pregnant women with insulin-treated diabetes during caesarean delivery68 paired isCGM-CG data
Participants

Follow-up
During caesarean delivery
Methodological detailspaired measurements
  • Paired measurements
