About this trial
The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves the detection and management of neonatal hypoglycaemia in newborns of mothers with insulin-treated gestational diabetes.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Maternal age of 18 years or older
Singleton pregnancy
Insulin-treated gestational diabetes mellitus
Disqualifiers
Multifetal pregnancy
Congenital malformations or metabolic defects in the newborn
Preterm birth (defined as birth <37 weeks of gestation)
Smoking during pregnancy
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Dexcom ONE Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
DeviceThe Dexcom ONE continuous glucose monitoring system is applied to all participants. Following randomisation, CGM data are either available in real time to the clinical team (intervention group) or recorded in masked mode and not available to the clinical team, and therefore do not influence clinical management (control group).
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Neonatal hypoglycaemia
Number of hypoglycaemic episodes per neonate, defined as the number of CGM-recorded glucose values \<40mg/dl (2.2 mmol/L) occuring within the first 72 hours after birth.
Secondary outcomes
Total cumulative duration of hypoglycaemia per neonate within the first 72 hours of life
Total cumulative duration of hypoglycaemia per neonate within the first 72 hours of life, defined as the sum of all time periods during which CGM-measured glucose concentration is \<40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L), expressed in minutes.
Number of hypoglycaemia-related clinical interventions per neonate during the monitoring period
Number of clinical interventions (feeding, oral glucose, intravenous glucose administration) per neonate during the monitoring period due to hypoglycaemia
Number of capillary blood glucose measurements per neonate
Number of capillary blood glucose measurements per neonate during the monitoring period in the control group.
Measures of glucose variability per neonate within the first 72 hours of life
Glucose variability metrics derived from CGM data, including: * standard deviation (SD) of glucose concentration, and * coefficient of variation (CV), calculated as SD divided by mean glucose and expressed as a percentage.
