Abstract: Gestational hyperglycemia is associated with a range of maternal and fetal complications and adverse outcomes. Monitoring and controlling blood glucose levels are essential for the health of both mother and child. Current methods for blood glucose monitoring include self-monitoring, glycosylated hemoglobin, glycosylated albumin testing, and continuous glucose monitoring. Among these techniques, continuous glucose monitoring tracks blood glucose levels throughout the day, providing a comprehensive and precise assessment of blood glucose levels and fluctuations, which serves as a basis for individualized treatment strategies, leading to better glycemic control and improved maternal and fetal outcomes. This article provides an overview of continuous glucose monitoring, including the significance of its key parameters, target population and timing of use, and practical considerations of its clinical application, aiming to serve patients with gestational hyperglycemia better.
