Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of different implantation sites of continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods Thirty-seven patients with GDM from May 2012 to April 2015 were randomly divided into 2 groups:upper arm implantation group (n =20) and lateral thigh implantation group (n =17).The correlations between values of self-monitoring of bloodglucose (SMBG) and CGMS at different time points in 2 groups were analyzed.The occurrences of hypoglycemia unawareness and adverse reactions were observed.Results The values of CGMS and SMBG showed positive correlation in upper arm implantation group and lateral thigh implantation group (r =0.89 and 0.81,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences of incidences of hypoglycemia unawareness and adverse reactions between groups [35.0％ (7/20) vs 29.4％ (5/17),40.0％ (8/20) vs 41.2％ (7/17)] (P＞0.05).Conclusion Both upper arm and lateral thigh are good implantation sites of CGMS for GDM patients.
