“With Lilium, we can focus more time on personalized and proactive GDM care that directly impacts patient outcomes.”
Practice results, clinical evidence, and the science behind remote monitoring and CGM in pregnancy.
“With Lilium, we can focus more time on personalized and proactive GDM care that directly impacts patient outcomes.”
“Our staff follows hundreds of pregnant patients with diabetes using many different glucometers and CGMs. With Lilium, having consistent data saves us time and makes it easier to adjust treatment.”
Ouma's maternity telehealth clinicians run gestational diabetes care on Lilium, with connected devices, glucose review, and documentation in one place.
Selected by the New Jersey Department of Health, LilyPADS is a referral-based telehealth program for rural New Jersey. Pregnant patients with gestational or pre-existing diabetes get one-on-one education with an RD/CDCES, connected devices at no cost, and weekly glucose review under MFM direction, supplementing in-person obstetric care.
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s Special Statement on telemedicine in obstetrics, reaffirmed in 2025, reviews the evidence for remote care across pregnancy, including diabetes management.
Continuous glucose data and remote review give clinicians a short window to act on rising glucose. The trials and cohorts below are the evidence base for that approach.
Across 31 hospitals, CGM users spent about 100 more minutes a day in range in late pregnancy. Large-for-gestational-age births fell from 69% to 53%, NICU admissions over 24 hours from 43% to 27%, and neonatal hypoglycemia from 28% to 15%.
Feig DS et al. Lancet 2017;390:2347-59 →At NYU Langone, remote monitoring of glucose replaced paper logs for more than 1,500 patients. Compared with paper logs, RPM was associated with better glycemic control, lower preeclampsia rates, and less neonatal hypoglycemia in the first 24 hours.
Kantorowska A et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2023;228:726 →Seventeen randomized trials. Real-time CGM reduced NICU admissions in gestational diabetes by 45% versus fingersticks (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34-0.90); retrospective CGM was associated with a 54% lower risk of large-for-gestational-age infants.
Dutta D et al. Diabetes Obes Metab 2026 →In 120 women diagnosed between 8 and 26 weeks, CGM-guided care lowered large-for-gestational-age births (5% vs. 18%), preterm delivery (7% vs. 18%), and NICU admissions (23% vs. 45%) compared with self-monitoring.
Diabetes Obes Metab 2025 →Eighteen studies, 2,630 women. Moderate-certainty evidence of CGM benefit across diabetes in pregnancy, with a 0.22% mean A1c reduction; in diet-controlled GDM, CGM was associated with fewer primary cesareans, preterm deliveries, macrosomia, LGA, and neonatal hypoglycemia.
Am J Obstet Gynecol 2025 →Twelve randomized trials, 2,192 women. Telemedicine lowered 2-hour post-meal glucose and reduced cesarean delivery by 26% (RR 0.74) compared with standard care.
Cureus 2024; PMID 39564055 →Eleven studies. Telemonitoring improved glycemic control and A1c, achieved control earlier with fewer insulin titrations, and reduced scheduled and unscheduled clinic visits, with high patient satisfaction.
JMIR 2021; PMC8433929 →As many as 1 in 3 patients with GDM have impaired glucose metabolism postpartum, with a 40% to 70% lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes. Postpartum screening rates are typically under 50%. SMFM proposes a uniform metric for completion within 12 weeks of delivery.
SMFM Special Statement, AJOG 2023 →New studies on CGM, remote monitoring, and telemedicine in pregnancy, plus updates from our partner practices. A short note when there is something worth reading, nothing more.
Lilium aggregates and displays readings from FDA-cleared CGMs and meters. It does not make treatment decisions and is not itself a medical device.
