Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Utilizing Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Early Detection of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Pregnancy Outcomes in an Asian Population
Authors' conclusion
Our data suggest CGM's potential clinical utility in the first trimester for predicting GDM and adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly in individuals with overweight or obesity.
Study context
- Population
- Multiethnic Asian pregnant women with overweight or obesity who wore blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in early pregnancy and had universal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening at 24–28 gestation weeks18 GDM cases
- Participants
- 103 women
- Exposure
- Model with CGM-derived novel parameters vs model with traditional early pregnancy risk factors
- Outcome
- Prediction of incident GDM
- Follow-up
- GDM screening at 24-28 gestation weeks
Methodological detailshospital-based, blinded CGM
- Hospital-based
- Blinded CGM
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
| Group | AUC |
|---|---|
| CGM-derived parameters | 0.953 |
| Traditional risks | 0.722 |
AUC
CGM-derived parameters0.953
Traditional risks0.722
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- Novel CGM-derived parameters significantly differentiated primary cesarean and large-for-gestational age babies
