Continuous Glucose Monitor Use With Remote Monitoring Reduces Fear ofHypoglycemia in Pregnant Women With Type 1 Diabetes: A PilotStudy

摘要

Pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes (T1D) are associated with reduced quality oflife and increased emotional stress.1 As women aim to maintain the recommended tight glycemic targets of pregnancy,2 they often report changes in physical responses to hypoglycemia3 and an increased fear of hypoglycemia.4 Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been shown to reduce fear of hypoglycemiain nonpregnant adults.5 CGM can now also be used with remote monitoring by others. We examined whetherremote monitoring of CGM trends and alerts by family and friends (CGM Share) couldreduce fear of hypoglycemia compared to CGM use alone (CGM Alone) in pregnant women withT1D.
