Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study investigates whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small wearable sensor that tracks blood sugar levels in real time — during the hospital stay right after giving birth can reduce dangerous low blood sugar episodes (hypoglycemia) in women with pre-existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are in your third trimester of pregnancy and admitted to the hospital - You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes (not gestational diabetes) - You own a compatible smart device to receive readings from the CGM **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 years old - You do not speak English - You have gestational diabetes (only pre-existing type 1 or type 2 qualifies) - You have extensive skin conditions that prevent wearing a sensor, or a known allergy to adhesives Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
