This study looks at two approaches to manage gestational diabetes in 60 pregnant women. One group gets standard counseling and care, while the other follows a personalized diet and exercise plan with closer monitoring. The goal is to see which method better controls blood sugar a…

This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) instead of standard finger-prick testing can improve pregnancy outcomes for women with gestational diabetes. About 386 women will be randomly assigned to use a CGM or continue usual care. The goal is to see if CGM …

This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that shows real-time blood sugar on a smartphone app, plus a group chat with other participants, helps pregnant people keep healthy blood sugar levels. The study enrolls 70 pregnant women at risk for gestational di…

This study compares a single daily dose of long-acting insulin to the standard regimen of long-acting plus mealtime insulin in pregnant women with diabetes. The goal is to see if the simpler approach controls blood sugar just as well and reduces baby complications. Participants w…

This study looks at whether community health workers can help women in urban Indian slums get tested for type 2 diabetes after having a baby. Women who had diabetes during pregnancy are at high risk, but many miss the recommended test. The trial will compare home-based testing by…

This study looks at whether a glucose tolerance test given right after delivery is as accurate as the standard test given 6 weeks later for women who had gestational diabetes. Researchers hope that testing sooner will help more women complete the test and get the follow-up care t…

This study tests if providing healthy meals, nutrition support, and health coaching to pregnant women at high risk can prevent conditions like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. 100 participants will either receive standard care or the full program. Researchers will compare o…

This study looks at how beta-cells (which make insulin) respond to growth hormone in women who had gestational diabetes. Researchers want to understand why some women develop high blood sugar during pregnancy. The study involves 30 women and uses tests to measure insulin producti…

This observational study follows 100 pregnant women with gestational diabetes to understand how sleep quality, anxiety, eating habits, and metabolic markers relate to blood sugar control and pregnancy outcomes. Participants complete questionnaires and undergo glucose monitoring e…

This study tests if doing a diabetes test before leaving the hospital after childbirth (instead of waiting 4-12 weeks) helps more women get screened after having gestational diabetes. It also surveys participants about their views on heart health programs and what makes it easier…

This study follows 800 pregnant women—some healthy, some with obesity or diabetes—to understand how these conditions affect both mother and baby's health over time. Researchers will track body composition, blood sugar, blood pressure, and other markers during pregnancy and after …

This study looks at how a pregnant woman's metabolism—specifically insulin resistance and fat burning—relates to the health of the placenta and the risk of conditions like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Researchers will follow 50 pregnant women at high risk for these comp…

This study looks at why women who had gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) may have higher heart disease risk years later. Researchers will test how a natural chemical called endothelin-1 affects small blood vessel function, and whether physical activity or sitting to…

This study looks at whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) worn during late pregnancy and for two weeks after birth can help predict which women with gestational diabetes will have abnormal blood sugar after delivery. About 40 women will wear a Dexcom G7 CGM, and researchers …

This study follows 462 women who became pregnant through egg donation or standard IVF to learn why pre-eclampsia is more common after egg donation. Researchers will track blood pressure, blood tests, and ultrasounds throughout pregnancy. The goal is to find better ways to predict…
