Continuous glucose monitoring versus self-monitoring of blood glucose in gestational diabetes: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Key Points
Continuous glucose monitoring significantly improves glycemic control compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose.
The analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials highlighted a reduction in HbA1c levels by 0.5% with continuous monitoring.
Assessment using meta-analysis of available randomized controlled trials provides robust evidence for diabetes management.
Findings call for broader adoption of continuous glucose monitoring in gestational diabetes management, but additional studies may enhance understanding.
