NCT ID NCT02133729

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study followed 255 women with gestational diabetes to see if simple blood tests during pregnancy could predict who will develop type 2 diabetes after giving birth. Researchers measured three markers (CRP, MDA, and adiponectin) and checked glucose tolerance three months after delivery. The goal is to focus follow-up care on women at highest risk.

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 successful, this could help doctors identify which women with gestational diabetes are at highest risk for type 2 diabetes, allowing earlier prevention efforts.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The markers tested may not prove accurate enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all populations.
