Continuous glucose monitoring for pregnancy diabetes and baby health

This trial compares two ways to check blood sugar during pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes: a traditional blood glucose meter (where you prick your finger) versus a continuous glucose monitoring device (a small wearable sensor that tracks sugar levels all day). Researchers want to see if the continuous glucose monitor helps improve health outcomes for both mothers and babies, and whether cultural or economic factors affect how well each method works.

Gestational diabetes—high blood sugar during pregnancy—is becoming more common worldwide and can harm both mother and baby if not well controlled. While the continuous glucose monitor works well for other types of diabetes, doctors don't yet know if it's better for pregnancy diabetes, especially for people with different diets and living situations.
