Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation unless otherwise stated. GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; CG, control group; BMI, body mass index; CGM, continuous glucose monitoring; %CV, coefficient of variation; GA, gestational age; SD, standard deviation from sensor; %TAR, percentage of time above target range; %TIR, percentage of time in range; %TBR, percentage of time below target range; Total AUC, the area under the interstitial glucose concentration curve for the entire day AUCabove7.8, the hyperglycaemic area under the interstitial glucose concentration curve above 7.8 mmol/L normalized for a 24-h period; AUCbelow3.5, the hypoglycaemic area under the interstitial glucose concentration curve below 3.5 mmol/L normalized for a 24-h period. The significance is set at p < 0.05. p value significance level: * 0.05, ** 0.01, *** 0.001.
