Can a smartphone app and chat group tame gestational diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07009704
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor that shows real-time blood sugar levels on a smartphone app, plus joining a group chat with other pregnant women, helps keep glucose levels healthy during pregnancy. About 70 pregnant women at risk for gestational diabetes will use the monitor and chat for support. The goal is to see if this approach improves blood sugar control and reduces health risks for mother and baby.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- real-time continuous glucose monitor and mobile-based social support
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for pregnant women to better control blood sugar and reduce complications from gestational diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention relies on self-motivation and smartphone use, which may not work for everyone.
