NCT ID NCT07717424
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares quality of life and psychological factors—such as anxiety, depression, stress, and social support—between pregnant women with gestational diabetes and those without. Researchers will survey 206 women aged 20–40 in India using standard questionnaires. The goal is to understand how a GDM diagnosis affects emotional well-being and daily life, beyond blood sugar control.
