NCT ID NCT06911372
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how having gestational diabetes during pregnancy might affect blood flow and blood vessel function in the brain after childbirth. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure brain blood flow in women who had gestational diabetes and compare them to women with healthy pregnancies. The goal is to understand if gestational diabetes causes lasting changes to brain blood vessels, which could help explain higher risks of stroke and dementia later in life.
