Summary
This pilot study is testing a smartphone app called MyGlucoCare that provides personalized education, clinician support, and a peer group for women with gestational diabetes. About 30 pregnant women will use the app for 8 to 12 weeks. Researchers want to see if the app is practical and acceptable, and whether it helps improve blood sugar control and well-being.
