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.
