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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If this study finds clear links between GDM and poorer quality of life or mental health, it could encourage doctors to include psychological support as part of routine GDM care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all populations or settings.
