Less Than 5 kg of Gestational Weight Gain in Type 2 Diabetes Was Linked to Lower Risk of LGA, Hypertensive Disorders, NICU Admission, and Cesarean Delivery

In a retrospective cohort of pregnancies complicated by type 2 diabetes, gestational weight gain under 5 kg was associated with lower odds of several adverse perinatal outcomes without a statistically significant rise in preterm birth or small-for-gestational-age infants.

Flash Glucose Monitoring Fails to Improve Glycemic Control but Reduces Large-for-Gestational-Age Risk in Gestational Diabetes

However, the device was associated with significantly fewer large-for-gestational-age neonates, warranting further investigation in larger studies.
