Flash glucose monitoring in gestational diabetes mellitus: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a glucose intolerance occurring in 3%-10% of pregnant women and being a risk factor for multiple maternal and fetal complications. The risk of perinatal complications is proportional to the level of maternal hyperglycaemia. Proper glycaemic control is therefore one of the key elements of GDM therapy. Until recently, determination of blood glucose concentration was performed using glucose meters, which involved multiple fingerpricks. Nowadays, due to the flash glucose monitoring (FGM) availability, it is possible to collect measurements at any time without routine puncturing. The aim of the presented study is to assess the impact of FGM on the efficacy of treatment in population of patients diagnosed with GDM.
