Abstract

An objective of the study was to characterize if continuous glucose monitor (CGM) glycemic patterns throughout pregnancy are indicative of gestational diabetes (GDM) and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). A prospective observational cohort of 760 pregnant patients enrolled <17 weeks with A1c <6.5% wore a blinded CGM sequentially during pregnancy. Patients with ≥14 days of CGM data overall with ≥10 days in the 2nd trimester, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and an APO assessment were included. The primary outcome was GDM diagnosis by abnormal OGTT. Large gestational age (LGA) birthweight >90% and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) were analyzed. Glycemic metrics using CGM between those with and without GDM and each APO were compared. Participants had a mean±SD of 112±42 days of CGM data. Prevalence of GDM, LGA, and HDP were 7%, 16%, and 27%. Mean glucose, glucose standard deviation, time > 120 mg/dL and > 140 mg/dL were significantly higher during the entire gestational period prior to OGTT (mean 27 ± 2 weeks) in those who developed GDM. TIR 63-120 mg/dL and 63-140 mg/dL were significantly lower in those who developed GDM (Table 1). Similar findings were noted for the diagnosis of LGA and HDP. CGM use during pregnancy revealed glycemic differences between those with vs without GDM, LGA, and HDP throughout gestation. Higher glucose levels during pregnancy are associated with these APOs.
