This study is looking at whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which shows your blood sugar levels in real-time on a smartphone app, combined with a group chat for social support, can help pregnant individuals keep their blood sugar at a healthy level. High blood sugar during pregnancy can cause health problems for both you and your baby. Researchers believe that knowing your blood sugar levels instantly might help you make choices, like exercising or drinking water, to lower them. This study aims to enroll 70 pregnant women, aged 18-45, who are less than 20 weeks pregnant, have a BMI over 25, a personal history of gestational diabetes (GDM), or a first-degree family member with type 2 diabetes. You must also own a smartphone, be comfortable in English, and receive prenatal care at Tufts Medicine (Boston). The main goal is to see how this approach affects your confidence in managing your blood sugar.
