To explore the relationship between blood glucose (BG) control rate and self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) compliance of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Women with GDM (n = 309) were randomized to receive routine clinical prenatal care or additional online management. Follow-up visits were conducted every two weeks (noted here as T) from enrollment to delivery. SMBG records were used for the analysis. Both the intervention group and the control group had an increasing BG control rate and decreasing SMBG compliance during the whole follow-up period. Detailed data analysis on separate follow-up periods showed that the SMBG frequency was negatively correlated with the BG control rate in most Ts and that the BG control rate of Tn-1 was negatively correlated with the SMBG frequency of Tn in the adjacent T. Only in the intervention group was T2 SMBG compliance not under the influence of the T1 BG control rate. Our data suggested that regardless of management approach, the BG control rate increased, and the SMBG frequency decreased as gestational weeks increased in women with GDM. Even in separate follow-up periods, the SMBG frequency was negatively correlated with the BG control rate both within one follow-up period and between two adjacent follow-up periods.
