Translating HbA_1c measurements into estimated average glucose values in pregnant women with diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

This study aimed to examine the relationship between average glucose levels, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and HbA_1c levels in pregnant women with diabetes to determine whether calculations of standard estimated average glucose (eAG) levels from HbA_1c measurements are applicable to pregnant women with diabetes.

Methods

CGM data from 117 pregnant women (89 women with type 1 diabetes; 28 women with type 2 diabetes) were analysed. Average glucose levels were calculated from 5-7 day CGM profiles (mean 1275 glucose values per profile) and paired with a corresponding (±1 week) HbA_1c measure. In total, 688 average glucose-HbA_1c pairs were obtained across pregnancy (mean six pairs per participant). Averag
