Smart patch and coach app aim to tame diabetes in pregnancy
NCT ID NCT05662462
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) paired with a coaching app helps pregnant women with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control compared to standard care. Participants use a Dexcom G7 CGM sensor and receive guidance through a mobile app and care team. The goal is to see if more women can reach a target A1c below 6.5% in the third trimester, potentially improving outcomes for both mother and baby.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dexcom G7 Pro Continuous Glucose Monitor and mHealth coaching app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help more pregnant women with type 2 diabetes achieve safe blood sugar levels, reducing risks for both mother and baby.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (124 participants) and results may not apply to all populations. The intervention adds complexity and may not improve outcomes enough to justify the extra effort.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. pregnant individuals age ≥18 years; 2. ≤20 weeks of gestation (specifically, \<20+6 weeks); 3. diagnosis of pregestational T2D and A1c ≥6.5% at the time of study enrollment; 4. Medicaid insurance; 5. English or Spanish speaking; 6. cognitively able to complete the study requirements; 7. consent to all study activities; 8. accessible for participation in study activities; 9. use a smartphone with internet access; Participants must also consent to the study team abstracting information from their electronic health records (EHRs), using CGM for glucose monitoring if randomized to the intervention group, tracking the participants' clinic, hospital, and emergency room visits during the study period, as well as tracking the number of times the participants use the ACHIEVE mobile health (mHealth) application (app), including what activities are used in the mobile application (e.g., recording blood glucose, scheduling appointments, messaging their healthcare providers, accessing educational resources).
