Baseline characteristics of study participants
In 51 study participants, the only significant difference in characteristics between the group of pregnant mothers who were diagnosed with GDM (n=8) at a mean gestational age of 25.8 (+ 2.55) weeks, compared to those who did not (n=43), was the 1-hour OGTT glucose values (11.0 + 4.15 vs 7.27 + 1.45 mmol/L, p<0.04) (Table 1). The distribution of the type of CGM sensor (blinded or unblinded) worn, and the mean wear-time (14 days) did not significantly differ between the two groups. The characteristics of the participants who were included (n=51) and excluded (n=67) in the analyses were not significantly different (Supplementary Table S1).
