Continuous glucose monitoring versus finger‑stick checks in pregnancy with type 2 diabetes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized trial assigns pregnant people with pregestational type 2 diabetes to either standard finger‑stick glucose monitoring or to wearing a continuous glucose monitor during pregnancy. The main goal is to compare adherence to glucose monitoring between the two methods, with secondary analyses of maternal glycemic control and neonatal outcomes. Eligible participants are those with singleton pregnancies without fetal anomalies who begin prenatal care before 20 weeks; people with type 1 diabetes, insulin allergy, or inability to wear a CGM are excluded. Medication adjustments follow routine clinical care based on the glucose data collected from the assigned monitoring method.
