NCT ID NCT06445530

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether providing medically tailored meals, nutrition counseling, and community support helps Black mothers with a history of gestational diabetes control their weight after childbirth. Forty low-income Black women who had gestational diabetes will receive either enhanced support (meals, lactation help, and community resources) or standard meal delivery. Researchers will measure how well participants stick with the program and whether it improves diet and weight, aiming to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
