NCT ID NCT06209411
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether community health workers can help women in urban slums of India get screened for type 2 diabetes after having gestational diabetes. 330 women will either receive home-based testing or a referral to a clinic, plus diabetes education. A smaller part of the study also looks at whether a protein-fiber snack before meals helps control blood sugar.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Community health worker home-based testing and protein-fiber food supplements
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a scalable model to increase early detection of type 2 diabetes in high-risk women after pregnancy, potentially preventing long-term complications.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial in a specific setting, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement substudy is exploratory, and the main focus is on screening uptake, not direct treatment outcomes.
