What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of the iGlucose Remote Patient Monitoring Device in enhancing glycemic management for women with gestational diabetes or type 2 diabetes during pregnancy. By automating glucose monitoring data, the study aims to increase the number of recommended self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) checks and improve clinical outcomes. Participants will be women aged 18 and older who are diagnosed with gestational or type 2 diabetes before 30.6 weeks of pregnancy. The study employs a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to assess the intervention's impact compared to routine care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to better blood sugar control and improved health outcomes for pregnant women with diabetes.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using remote monitoring devices for diabetes management, suggesting potential success for this approach.
