Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older with gestational diabetes or type 2 diabetes diagnosed before 30.6 weeks of pregnancy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with type 1 diabetes or those with major fetal congenital abnormalities will not benefit from this study.

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.
