Highlights

Adjunctive flash glucose monitoring in gestational diabetes mellitus did not improve time-in-range glycemic outcomes compared to standard self-monitoring of blood glucose alone. Infants born to mothers using flash glucose monitoring showed a significantly lower incidence of large-for-gestational-age (3% vs 11%, p=0.05). The unexpected primary outcome finding and the promising secondary neonatal outcome highlight the need for larger confirmatory trials before widespread adoption in this population.
