Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) within hours of delivery to predict long-term risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Participants will be provided a CGM within 2 hours after delivery and wear the device for 24 hours. Participants will be instructed to peel off the device after 24 hours. Participants will also be asked to complete two surveys regarding their experience at 1-3 months postpartum and 12-14 months postpartum.

Arms & Interventions

Continuous Glucose Monitor

Other

Administration of a Continuous Glucose Monitor within 2 hours after delivery for 24-hour collection of glycemic data.

Intervention: Continuous Glucose Monistor (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Clinical Efficacy Associated with CGM use immediately postpartum as compared to the 2 hr Glucose tolerance test

Time Frame: 24 hours postpartum and 1-3 months postpartum

Regression analysis to assess strength and direction of the relationship between postpartum CGM data and 2 hr GTT

Clinical Efficacy Associated with CGM use immediately postpartum as compared to the HbA1c test postpartum

Time Frame: 24 hours postpartum and 1-3 months postpartum

Regression analysis to assess strength and direction of the relationship between postpartum CGM data and HbA1c

Secondary Outcomes

  • Patient satisfaction with CGM use immediately postpartum to evaluate long term risk(1-3 months postpartum after glucose tolerance test, 12-24 months postpartum after A1C blood test)
