NCT ID NCT07336914

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

Summary

This study tests whether a more intensive approach—combining a structured low-calorie diet, moderate exercise, and frequent monitoring—works better than standard counseling for managing gestational diabetes. Sixty pregnant women will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see if the intensive plan leads to better blood sugar control and fewer health problems for both mother and baby.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dietary intervention + physical activity + monitoring

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a more intensive lifestyle and monitoring plan helps control blood sugar better in gestational diabetes, reducing complications for mothers and babies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intensive plan may be hard for some women to follow long-term.
