First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app called SugarMoms, which provides education and counseling, can help pregnant women with gestational diabetes improve their self-management skills and confidence. About 94 women will be split into two groups: one using the app plus standard care, and the other receiving only standard hospital education. Researchers will measure changes in attitudes, behaviors, and self-efficacy over time.

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could provide an effective, convenient way for pregnant women with gestational diabetes to manage their condition and improve their self-care behaviors.

What could go wrong
