About this trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether automation of glucose monitoring data to facilitate the total number of recommended and completed SMBG checks improve clinical outcomes for women living with gestational and type 2 diabetes during pregnancy? This is a RCT

Treatments tested in this trial

  • iGlucose Smart Meter System

    Device

    Subjects will have routine care enhanced by use of theThe iGlucose Smart meter system. This is an example of integration of a SMBG system with internet-based technology; including cell phone notifications for reminders, feedback, and communication with clinicians

  • Routine Care-RX meter

    Device

    Subjects will receive routine care with the insurance prescribed glucose meter. They will self manage with traditional diabetes diary.

Treatment groups

200 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: iGlucose Smart MeterExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Rx glucose meterPlacebo comparator 1 intervention
