Can a smartphone program and glucose monitor reduce heart risks after gestational diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06648174
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a lifestyle program delivered through a mobile app, combined with a continuous glucose monitor (Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2), can improve blood sugar control and reduce cardiometabolic risk in 120 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Participants wear the glucose monitor during pregnancy and receive personalized feedback. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better health outcomes 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
- Continuous glucose monitor (Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2) and a lifestyle intervention based on the health belief model, delivered via mobile health
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help women with gestational diabetes better control their blood sugar and reduce long-term heart and metabolic risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (120 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The lifestyle program requires active participation, and the glucose monitor may cause skin irritation in some users.
