Impact of Real Time, Flash and Retrospective Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Feto‐Maternal Outcomes in Women With Gestational Diabetes and Pre‐Gestational Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis With Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effects of different continuous glucose monitoring methods on outcomes for mothers and babies with diabetes during pregnancy.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Analyzed the impact of real-time, flash, and retrospective CGM on feto-maternal outcomes.
Performed Trial Sequential Analysis to assess the robustness of findings.
Real-time continuous glucose monitoring likely reduces admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with moderate confidence.
Other CGM models showed mostly neutral effects on feto-maternal outcomes.
Current evidence is limited, indicating the need for larger future randomized controlled trials.

Abstract

RT-CGM probably reduces NICU admission (moderate-certainty), but TSA indicates that current evidence is still information-size limited, so further large RCTs are warranted. Use of other CGM models in GDM and pregestational diabetes was largely neutral with regard to feto-maternal outcomes.
