Summary
This study compares continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to standard fingerstick testing in 180 pregnant women with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if CGMs reduce the number of large babies and improve blood sugar control. Participants will use either a CGM or traditional fingerstick checks throughout pregnancy.
