Findings in summary
Between March 25, 2013, and March 22, 2016, we randomly assigned 325 women (215 pregnant, 110 planning pregnancy) to capillary glucose monitoring with CGM (108 pregnant and 53 planning pregnancy) or without (107 pregnant and 57 planning pregnancy).
 
We found a small difference in HbA1c in pregnant women using CGM (mean di erence −0·19%; 95% CI −0·34 to −0·03; p=0·0207).
 
 
Pregnant CGM users spent more time in target (68% vs 61%; p=0·0034) and less time hyperglycaemic (27% vs 32%; p=0·0279) than did pregnant control participants, with comparable severe hypoglycaemia episodes (18 CGM and 21 control) and time spent hypoglycaemic (3% vs 4%; p=0·10).
 
Neonatal health outcomes were significantly improved, with lower incidence of large for gestational age (odds ratio 0·51, 95% CI 0·28 to 0·90; p=0·0210), fewer neonatal intensive care admissions lasting more than 24 h (0·48; 0·26 to 0·86; p=0·0157), fewer incidences of neonatal hypoglycaemia (0·45; 0·22 to 0·89; p=0·0250), and 1-day shorter length of hospital stay (p=0·0091). We found no apparent bene t of CGM in women planning pregnancy.

Continuous glucose monitoring in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (CONCEPTT): a multicentre international randomised controlled trial
 
Editorial, Full text and free. The Lancet. 
Continuous glucose monitoring in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. "We believe that the CONCEPTT results support CGM use during pregnancy for all women with type 1 diabetes. The time in range might become an important measure in pregnancies associated with type 1 diabetes; thus endocrine and obstetric medical societies could consider advocating or recommending revising their guidelines accordingly."
