Abstract

Glucose challenge testing (GCT) is standard diagnostic approach for gestational diabetes (GDM). Using CGM glucose values to characterize glycemia during GCT is not well described. CGM and blood glucose (BG) values were matched with closest CGM value ±5 min of each reported BG time. GDM diagnosed by standard glucose thresholds for 50g GCT, 75g and 100g OGTTs. GCT (n=543, mean gestation 28 wks) showed mean±SD 1 hr BG of 117±28 mg/dL, while matched CGM mean BG was 126±36 mg/dL. The 1 hr BG was ≥135 mg/dL in 24% of GCT vs. 38% by CGM. OGTT (75g) (n=44, mean gestational age 28 wks) showed mean±SD fasting, 1 hr and 2 hr BG of 84±9 mg/dL, 156±33 mg/dL, and 119±26 mg/dL. OGTT (100g) (n=77, mean gestational age 29 wks) showed mean±SD fasting, 1 hr, 2 hr, and 3 hr BG of 82±9 mg/dL, 166±31 mg/dL, 137±27, and 101±27 mg/dL. CGM levels during GCT and both OGTT were similar but slightly higher for each time point; maximum glucose and glucose excursions were also similar between each test vs CGM. Those diagnosed with GDM had consistently higher CGM glucoses than those without GDM (Figure 1). CGM during GCT/OGTT demonstrates CGM correlates to BG, although consistently slightly higher for all 3 glucose tests, regardless of glucose load or timing of measurement. Correlating CGM values to obstetric outcomes would help further describe the role of CGM for diagnosing GDM and improving glucose metabolism in pregnancy.
