Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Women With Gestational Diabetes

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Freestyle Libre 3: CGM

Glucometer: SMBG

Study summary

There are a few ongoing large randomized controlled trials (RCT's) on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) powered for pregnancy outcomes. However, none of these studies included women diagnosed with early GDM. The CORDELIA trial is a Belgian-Australian open-label multi-centric RCT with 16 centers in women with GDM (including both early and late GDM). Women will be randomized 1/1 to either treatment with CGM (intervention group, Freestyle Libre 3 +) or continue with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) with glucometer in line with normal routine (control arm). The study ends at the postpartum oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT 6-24 weeks postpartum) to screen for glucose intolerance.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• a composite of pregnancy outcomes — at delivery
  Hence, the primary outcome is a binary variable, taking the value 1 if at least one of the adverse pregnancy outcomes occurs, or zero otherwise:preterm delivery \<37 weeks, large-for-gestational age infant, neonatal hypoglycaemia, (requiring intravenous dextrose), NICU admission (\>24h), respiratory distress (at least 4 hours of respiratory support with supplemental oxygen, CPAP, or intermittent positive-pressure ventilation during the first 24 hours after delivery), stillbirth or neonatal death, phototherapy for jaundice, birth trauma and shoulder dystocia
