NCT ID NCT07241221
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking myo-inositol (a natural supplement) during pregnancy can improve health outcomes for babies born to mothers with type 2 diabetes. About 182 pregnant women will take either myo-inositol plus folic acid or folic acid alone from early pregnancy until delivery. The goal is to see if the supplement helps babies be born at a healthy weight, at full term, and without needing intensive care.
