Unlike traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), which provides intermittent readings, CGM captures continuous glucose fluctuations, including postprandial and nocturnal changes, which are critical in GDM management.<h4>Objective</h4>This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of CGM compared with SMBG in managing glycemic control in women with GDM, focusing on key glycemic metrics such as time in range (TIR) and glycemic variability (GV), and exploring their associations with maternal and neonatal outcomes.<h4>Methods</h4>A comprehensive search of PuJournal of diabetes science and technology19322968251357873https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12286989biostudies-literatureThe Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Comparison to Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in Gestational Diabetes: A Systematic Review.PMC12286989Uthra KRam UAnjana RMLunghar JHannah WDeepa MMohan VPopova PVBalaji BKamalanathan SSagili HfalseThe Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Comparison to Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in Gestational Diabetes: A Systematic Review.<h4>Background</h4>Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has emerged as an important tool for managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), offering real-time glucose data and the potential for improved glycemic control.
