Daily Versus Every Other Day Glucose Monitoring in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs secondary to carbohydrate intolerance in pregnancy. Screening of GDM occurs between 24 to 28 weeks gestation by a screening 1-hour 50g glucose challenge test and confirmed with a 100g 3-hour fasting glucose tolerance test. Once patients are diagnosed with GDM, they are instructed to check their fingerstick blood glucose four times daily, every day. There is insufficient evidence to determine the ideal frequency and timing of glucose monitoring in patients diagnosed with GDM and no absolute guidelines put in place by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The study team aims to confirm non inferiority on the patient population on the effects of daily (4x daily) versus every other day (4x daily) glucose monitoring in all patients diagnosed with GDM.
