Abstract
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on pregnancy outcomes in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 387 pregnant women with PGDM at Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, spanning from 2016 to 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups: 212 women who used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and 175 women who self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). The study evaluated maternal characteristics, pregnancy complications, delivery methods, neonatal outcomes, and congenital anomalies.
Results: The CGM group exhibited lower weight gain during pregnancy (9.6 kg vs. 10.0 kg, p = 0.02) and required fewer prenatal visits (7 vs. 8, p = 0.01). The rate of cesarean sections was significantly lower in the CGM group (53.1% vs. 58.2%, p = 0.03), and the incidence of macrosomia was reduced (12.9% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.04). There were no significant differences in congenital anomalies, intrauterine fetal deaths, or neonatal deaths between the groups.
Conclusions: CGM in pregnant women with PGDM is associated with better pregnancy outcomes, including reduced cesarean section rates and lower incidence of macrosomia. These findings support the wider implementation of CGM for improved maternal and fetal health in PGDM pregnancies.
目的:本研究旨在评估连续血糖监测(CGM)对妊娠期糖尿病(PGDM)妇女妊娠结局的影响。方法:对2016年至2022年在西班牙塞维利亚圣母大学Rocío大学医院就诊的387例妊娠期妊娠糖尿病孕妇进行回顾性队列研究。这些患者被分为两组:212名女性使用连续血糖监测(CGM), 175名女性使用自我血糖监测(SMBG)。该研究评估了产妇特征、妊娠并发症、分娩方法、新生儿结局和先天性异常。结果:CGM组妊娠期体重增加较低(9.6 kg vs. 10.0 kg, p = 0.02),产前就诊较少(7 vs. 8, p = 0.01)。CGM组剖宫产率显著降低(53.1%比58.2%,p = 0.03),巨大儿发生率显著降低(12.9%比22.2%,p = 0.04)。两组间在先天性异常、宫内胎儿死亡或新生儿死亡方面无显著差异。结论:妊娠期糖尿病孕妇的CGM与更好的妊娠结局相关,包括降低剖宫产率和降低巨大儿发生率。这些发现支持更广泛地实施CGM,以改善妊娠期糖尿病孕妇的母婴健康。
期刊介绍:
Acta Diabetologica is a journal that publishes reports of experimental and clinical research on diabetes mellitus and related metabolic diseases. Original contributions on biochemical, physiological, pathophysiological and clinical aspects of research on diabetes and metabolic diseases are welcome. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications and letters to the editor. Invited reviews and editorials are also published. A Methodology forum, which publishes contributions on methodological aspects of diabetes in vivo and in vitro, is also available. The Editor-in-chief will be pleased to consider articles describing new techniques (e.g., new transplantation methods, metabolic models), of innovative importance in the field of diabetes/metabolism. Finally, workshop reports are also welcome in Acta Diabetologica.
