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 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.
