National Trial of CGM in Pregnant Women With Type 2 Diabetes

July 30, 2025 updated by: Odense University Hospital

National forsøgsordning Med Glukosesensorer Til Type 2-diabetes: Glukosesensorer Til Gravide Med Type 2-diabetes

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the use of glucose sensors in pregnant women with type 2 diabetes to improve insulin regulation, pregnancy and birth outcomes, and enhance quality of life and satisfaction with treatment.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does the use of glucose sensors during pregnancy lead to a clinically significant reduction in HbA1c by 0.3% at 36 weeks gestation compared to the control group?
  • Does the use of glucose sensors during pregnancy result in a clinically significant reduction in mean SD-score for birth weight deviation in newborns compared to the control group?

Researchers will compare the group of women using glucose sensors during pregnancy to a historical control group receiving routine care to see if the sensor improves pregnancy outcomes, glucose control, and birth weights.

Participants will:

  • Use a glucose sensor from before 14 weeks of pregnancy until 4-6 weeks postpartum.
  • Receive training on how to use the sensor and access ongoing support as needed.
  • Have a follow-up appointment 4-6 weeks postpartum, including a consultation for advice on medical treatment and further management of diabetes after birth.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Sensor use
Participants are given a sensor to use during pregnancy until 4-6 weeks post partum
Pregnant women with type 2 diabetes are given a sensor < week 14 of their pregnancy and will use it until 4-6 post partum. They will receive training in how to use the sensor, and support when needed.
