Abstract

Pregestational diabetes requires strict glycemic control during pregnancy.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices measure interstitial glucose levels
without the need for capillary puncture. Four pregnant women with pregestational
type 2 diabetes mellitus were studied with the aid of CGM during 2 weeks of their
gestation. They had weekly nutritional sessions and medical controls with an
endocrinologist. The average glucose level ranged from 82 to 171 mg/dL. The CGM
allowed early changes in the treatment of one patient with hypoglycemia. All patients
stated that the GCM helped them in their food selection. In conclusion, the GCM
helped in carbohydrate recognition and treatment readjustment. The CGM was well
accepted for use.
