Could a smart monitor help pregnant women with diabetes have healthier babies?
NCT ID NCT05947916
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a real-time continuous glucose monitor (CGM) helps pregnant women with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range better than standard finger-prick testing. About 240 women in early pregnancy will either wear the CGM device for most of their pregnancy or use standard monitoring. The goal is to see if CGM leads to better blood sugar control and improved outcomes for mothers and their babies.
