Glycemic variability and indices of glycemic control among pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) based on the use of continuous glucose monitoring share technology.

Background: Pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience high levels of glycemic variability, which may be associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Therefore, strategies that help pregnant women with T1D manage their glycemic control are of great interest.

Methods: We examined associations with or without remote monitoring of Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) data by friends and family with indices of glycemic control and glycemic variability during pregnancies complicated by T1D in a pilot non-randomized trial ( = 28).

Relationship Between Time-in-Range, HbA1c, and the Glucose Management Indicator in Pregnancies Complicated by Type 1 Diabetes.

We aimed to evaluate relationships between time-in-range (TIR 63-140 mg/dL), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, and the glucose management indicator (GMI) in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from 27 women with type 1 diabetes were collected prospectively throughout pregnancy. Up to 90-days of CGM data were correlated with point-of-care HbA1c levels measured in the clinic at each trimester.

Exploratory Analysis of Glycemic Control and Variability Over Gestation Among Pregnant Women with Type 1 Diabetes.

In exploratory analyses, we evaluated glycemic variability (GV) and gestational outcomes in pregnant women ( = 28) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Gestational age at delivery was higher for women with lower glycemic measures, including estimated HbA1c (eHbA1c) (0.14% decrease in HbA1c per 1-week greater gestational age,  = 0.

Continuous glucose monitor use with and without remote monitoring in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes: A pilot study.

Background: To examine whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with remote monitoring by followers (family/friends) changes glucose management, follower interventions, and health outcomes compared to CGM alone in pregnant women with diabetes.

Methods: We prospectively stratified first trimester pregnant women with Type 1 Diabetes to CGM Share (remote monitoring) or CGM Alone. We enrolled a main follower per woman.
