Study Summary
This trial will compare the effects of a continuous glucose monitor vs standard care on pregnant women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their infants.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women over 18 with type 2 diabetes, less than 14 weeks into their pregnancy, and receiving care at UMASS Memorial Health Care. They must have a confirmed diagnosis of T2DM and be able to consent. Women with multiple pregnancies or planning care outside UMMHC, or those with type 1 or gestational diabetes cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the use of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) versus routine fingerstick blood glucose monitoring in managing type 2 diabetes during pregnancy. It aims to see how each method affects baby's size at birth, mother's sugar control, satisfaction with treatment, and other pregnancy outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While CGMs are generally safe, potential side effects include skin irritation from the sensor adhesive, inaccurate readings leading to mismanagement of glucose levels which could affect both mother and baby's health.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will be randomized to application of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). They will apply the device in the clinical setting and be instructed how to download their information onto their smartphones or using the CGM device reader. They will use the CGM for the duration of the pregnancy until delivery.
Group II: Fingerstick Glucose MonitoringActive Control1 Intervention
Patients will be randomized to checking their blood glucose with fingerstick monitors at time of fasting in the AM, and 2 hours after each meal. This is the standard of care for patients in the pregnancy diabetes clinic.
