This review evaluates the role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Globally, GDM has been associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal health outcomes. It has been shown that currently existing methods of glycemic control in patients with GDM do not always provide adequate assessment of daily glycemic variability, and, unfortunately, the incidence of obstetric complications and diabetic fetopathy does not decrease. The system of CGM is a rather promising method which makes it possible to effectively assess the daily variability of glycemia, to detect high levels of postprandial glycemia and nocturnal hypoglycemiA. Keywords: Gestational diabetes mellitus, fetopathy, glycemic variability, continuous glucose monitoring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
