Although there are limited data on the role of CGM to improve pregnancy outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes, CGM has been shown to reduce pregnancy complications in patients with type 1 diabetes. Despite the limited data in some populations, given its ease of use and recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval with expanding insurance coverage, CGM has gained widespread popularity among pregnant patients with all types of diabetes. It is critical for obstetric clinicians to understand how CGM can be successfully integrated into clinical practice. We present a practical, step-wise approach to CGM data interpretation that can be incorporated into diabetes management during pregnancy and common CGM pitfalls and solutions. Although technology will continue to advance with newer-generation CGM devices and diabetes technology such as automated insulin delivery (not covered here), these key principles form a basic foundation for understanding CGM technology and its utility for pregnant people.</p>","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11486575/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141627269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
