Clinical Trial Summary

Once a pregnant mother is diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), she will be treated with either diet, medication (i.e., insulin), or both. The most important factor in GDM management is glycemic control to reduce adverse outcomes. Blood glucose levels have become the "key player" for monitoring and directing treatment during pregnancy. Large trials have confirmed that treatment of GDM to optimize glycemic control can decrease the incidence of many of these associated adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Up to now, SMBG (self-monitoring of blood glucose) is recommended for women with gestational diabetes that involves finger pricking up to six times daily. However, SMBG provides an incomplete picture of the daily glucose profile due to long intervals between finger pricking, and inaccurate self-reported measurements, which heavily rely on patients' compliance.


Description:

The incidence of obesity and diabetes is rising worldwide even in younger populations. With a rise in maternal obesity also gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) becomes more prevalent with a prevalence of up to 18% of pregnancies. Up to now, SMBG (self-monitoring of blood glucose) is recommended for women with gestational diabetes that involves finger pricking up to six times daily. The main purpose of this study is to prove that real time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) can effectively reduce the risk for adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcome in GDM. It is further hypothesized that rt-CGM can optimize maternal glycaemic control, increase patients satisfaction and adherence to management strategies of GDM. This is a open label randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Composite adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcome The primary endpoint is composite adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcome; the proportion of large for gestation age (LGA) newborns (birth weight >90th centile); fetal macrosomia (estimated fetal weight over the 95th centile); incidence of polyhydramnios (maximal vertical pocket = 8 cm); rate of neonatal hypoglycaemia; occurrence of stillbirth. Every each and one of these variables contributes to a better neonatal outcome and are associated. This composite endpoint includes factors influencing decisive the neonatal outcome. 2 years
Secondary Initiated Therapy Need for antiglycemic therapy in example Insulin yes/no 10-14 weeks
Secondary Glycemic Outcomes 1 Glycemic variability including number and duration of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events, mean interstitial glucose in mmol/L and its standard deviation (SD) A hypoglycemic event was defined for two separate analyses as excursions of at least 15 min below the target range (<3.5 mmol/L), and a hyperglycemic event was defined for two separate analyses as excursions of at least 15 min above the target range (>7.8 mmol/L). 10-14 weeks
Secondary Glycemic Outcomes 2 Time in glucose target in % 10-14 weeks
Secondary Glycemic Outcomes 3 Duration and frequency postprandial hyperglycaemic excursions 10-14 weeks
