GESTATIONAL DIABETES

This study tests whether an AI-based counseling program on a smartphone can help women with gestational diabetes manage their condition. 80 pregnant women will either get standard nutrition advice or AI-powered guidance. The goal is to see if the AI approach leads to healthier bi…

This study looks at the best time to start medication for gestational diabetes during pregnancy. About 416 pregnant women with the condition are randomly assigned to start medicine when 20% or 40% of their blood sugar readings are too high. The goal is to see which approach leads…

This study tests whether a specially designed app can help women who had high blood pressure or diabetes during pregnancy get the recommended heart check-ups after giving birth. About 400 women from Oslo University Hospital will either use the app or receive standard care. The go…

This study tests whether group prenatal care, where women with diabetes meet together with a healthcare provider, works better than standard one-on-one visits. Researchers will track blood sugar levels and weight after delivery in 117 pregnant women with type 2 or gestational dia…

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) tool on a smartphone to help women with gestational diabetes monitor their blood sugar and receive education. About 100 pregnant women will use the AI system to track their glucose levels at home and get feedback. The goal is to se…

This study tests whether intensive dietary counseling from a dietitian can help women with gestational diabetes control blood sugar without needing insulin. 214 women will be randomly assigned to either intensive nutrition support or standard care. The main goal is to see if more…

This study looks at whether giving pasteurized donor milk instead of formula to newborns who need extra feeding helps mothers breastfeed longer. It includes babies born small, late preterm, or to mothers with diabetes. About 112 infants will be randomly assigned to receive donor …

This study is testing whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) worn on the arm for 14 days can replace the standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for women who had gestational diabetes. Many women find the OGTT burdensome and skip it, missing a chance to catch lingering bl…

This study tests whether providing fresh meals, health coaching, and education to high-risk pregnant women can reduce the chance of developing gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or preeclampsia. 69 women in Milwaukee are randomly assigned to either receive the program or …

This study looks at whether combining high-intensity exercise with time-restricted eating before and during pregnancy can lower the risk of high blood sugar (gestational diabetes). Researchers will track 167 women who are planning to become pregnant and have certain risk factors,…

This study looks at whether a community-based program focused on healthy eating and exercise during and after pregnancy can lower the chances of obesity and type 2 diabetes in mothers and their children. About 1,000 pregnant women in urban areas will take part. The goal is to see…

This study tests whether starting nutritional counseling early in pregnancy can improve blood sugar control in women at risk for gestational diabetes. 150 pregnant women will receive either standard care or one-on-one sessions with a dietitian, plus videos and phone support. The …

This study looks at whether fat in the liver, detected by ultrasound during pregnancy, can help predict blood sugar problems after delivery in women with gestational diabetes. Researchers will follow 189 women for 6-12 weeks after birth, measuring insulin resistance and other mar…

This study looks at how mental health and stress impact blood sugar levels in pregnant women, and how this might contribute to gestational diabetes. Researchers will follow 150 women with healthy single-baby pregnancies to understand these connections. The goal is to better ident…

This observational study in Thailand is testing whether two substances in the blood (miRNA and FGF21) measured during the first trimester can predict which women will develop gestational diabetes later in pregnancy. Researchers will compare levels between 160 women who do and do …

This study observes heart function in 216 newborns born at 35 weeks or later. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure how the heart relaxes and fills with blood, creating normal reference values. They will also check if factors like mother's health or birth conditions affect h…

This observational study at the University of Maryland will follow 40 pregnant women to see how their physical activity levels influence the development and function of the placenta. Participants will provide biological samples and health information during pregnancy and at deliv…

This study looks at whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can provide better insight into blood sugar patterns in pregnant women at risk for gestational diabetes than the usual oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Researchers will give 400 high-risk pregnant women a CGM senso…

This study follows 1,304 healthy Indian adolescents aged 8–10 over time to see how their growth, bone health, and muscle development are linked to their parents' nutrition. Researchers aim to understand why malnutrition persists across generations and identify windows of opportun…

This pilot study is testing a device called LabClasp that measures blood sugar without needles. Researchers want to see if regular, non-invasive glucose checks can help predict gestational diabetes and preeclampsia in pregnant women. The study plans to enroll 100 women with at le…
