Women with type 2 and gestational diabetes have to keep strict logs of their blood sugar and record blood sugar values 4 times per day (fasting and 2 hours after every meal). This is often the first time they've had to keep such strict logs. Patients are provided with paper logs to record their blood sugars, however these can be lost or damaged and often they are not brought back to clinic. Mobile apps can be used to record blood sugar as well. This study will be comparing compliance with recording blood sugar values as prescribed with paper logs versus a mobile app. Subjects will be recruited from the Augusta University downtown location obstetric clinics.
Qualifying subjects must be at least 18 years of age with a verified intrauterine pregnancy of at least 12 weeks gestation and must have preexisting type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes diagnosed by 1h glucose tolerance test (GTT) \> 200mg/dL or 3h GTT with 2 or more abnormal values. Exclusion criteria includes patients with less than 2 weeks expected to be remaining in pregnancy, Preexisting use of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or application to track blood sugar readings, and type 1 diabetes.
