Overview

This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) within hours of delivery to predict long-term risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Participants will be provided a CGM within 2 hours after delivery and wear the device for 24 hours. Participants will be instructed to peel off the device after 24 hours. Participants will also be asked to complete two surveys regarding their experience at 1-3 months postpartum and 12-14 months postpartum.

  • Multifetal gestation
  • Intra-amniotic infection by clinical criteria
  • Postpartum hemorrhage
  • Maternal ICU admission
  • Known allergy to medical-grade adhesive
  • Presence of skin lesions at anticipated CGM application site
  • Scheduled postpartum non-sonographic imaging study (radiograph, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) scan) during trial
  • Metformin use
  • Steroid use
  • Terbutaline use within 4 hours of delivery
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • MODY (mature onset of diabetes in the young)
