Evaluation of the effectiveness of diet therapy in gestational diabetes mellitus using the FreeStyle Libre flash monitoring system
AbstractEarly control of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can reduce the likelihood of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Glycemic variability (GV) is a more accurate parameter for assessing the risk of developing diabetic complications than traditional parameters for assessing compensation. In most cases, diet therapy is used to treat GDM, while glycemia in a pregnant woman should correspond to the glucose level in healthy pregnant women. The aim of our work was to compare biweekly glycemic profiles and glucose variability in healthy pregnant women and pregnant women with GDM on diet therapy using the FreeStyle Libre flash monitor system.
