Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy

Comparison of Accuracy of Freestyle Libre Pro and Medtronic iPro2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in Pregnancy

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Prospective observational study

Authors' conclusion

To conclude, iPro2 was more accurate; however, both sensors demonstrated inaccuracy at hypoglycemic range

Study context

Population
Women with hyperglycemia in pregnancy; simultaneous Freestyle Libre Pro (FSL-Pro) and iPro2 sensor insertion
Participants
42 women
Exposure
Medtronic iPro2 vs FSL-Pro CGM accuracy
Outcome
Overall MARD vs reference
Methodological detailshead-to-head, SMBG with Contour Plus meter as reference
  • Head-to-head
  • SMBG with Contour Plus meter as reference

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

MARD at hypoglycemic range

MARD at euglycemic range

MARD at hyperglycemic range

ISO criteria fulfilled (all values)

Glucose underestimation (Bland-Altman)

Mean absolute relative difference (MARD) at hypoglycemic range

Both sensors less accurate at hypoglycemic range
