Incidence of macrosomia was reduced overall (risk ratio [RR] 0.67 [95% CI 0.48, 0.94]; strength of evidence [SOE], moderate) and for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (RR 0.55 [95% CI 0.35, 0.86]; SOE, high); incidence of large for gestational age was also reduced overall (RR 0.77 [95% CI 0.61, 0.98]; SOE, very low) and for GDM (RR 0.65 [95% CI 0.45, 0.96]; SOE, very low). Incidence of small for gestational age (SGA) was elevated with CGM but not statistically significant (RR 1.37 [95% CI 0.96, 1.95]; SOE, moderate). The TSA showed no neonate size outcome met the required information size (RIS) to draw firm conclusions, and no cumulative Z curve crossed the adjusted monitoring boundary. Summary statistical significance may fluctuate with the publication of new studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CGM benefits mothers with preexisting diabetes and GDM and their neonates for varying outcomes, including reducing large size at birth. Our TSA found that the RIS for neonate size outcomes has not been reached. Literature should be monitored particularly for RCTs reporting SGA in GDM, which the TSA shows cannot be conclusively ruled out as a risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2337\/doc26-0018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]],"date-time":"2026-09-02T14:08:06Z","timestamp":1788358086000},"page":"963-973","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative Effectiveness of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Versus Blood Glucose Monitoring in Pregnancy With Diabetes: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis With Trial Sequential\u00a0Analysis"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"1","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8069-5783","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raveendhara R.","family":"Bannuru","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Education For All Foundation 1 , New York, NY"},{"name":"Supercharged Scientific 2 , Wellesley, MA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School 3 , Boston, MA"},{"name":"Tufts University School of Medicine 4 , Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meredith","family":"Noble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Education For All Foundation 1 , New York, NY"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1644-5947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grazia","family":"Aleppo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University 5 , Chicago, IL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7602-0396","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarit","family":"Polsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anschutz Medical Campus, University of Colorado 6 , Aurora, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Fazioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Diabetes Association 7 , Arlington, VA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tracy C.","family":"Shields","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Diabetes Association 7 , Arlington, VA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1217-4916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuha A.","family":"El Sayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Education For All Foundation 1 , New York, NY"},{"name":"Supercharged Scientific 2 , Wellesley, MA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School 3 , Boston, MA"},{"name":"Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital 8 , Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026101610025221900_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"574","DOI":"10.2337\/dc11-1687","article-title":"Hyperglycemia and adverse pregnancy outcome (HAPO) study: associations of maternal A1C and glucose with pregnancy outcomes","volume":"35","author":"Lowe","year":"2012","journal-title":"Diabetes Care"},{"key":"2026101610025221900_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"308","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.20279","article-title":"Maternal and neonatal complications of fetal macrosomia: systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"54","author":"Beta","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"2026101610025221900_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S321","DOI":"10.2337\/dc26-S015","article-title":"15.
