First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving probiotics to pregnant women with diabetes can improve their babies' brain development. Researchers will give 60 mothers a probiotic supplement and then measure their infants' brain responses to sounds and sights at 1 and 6 months old. The goal is to see if the probiotic changes the baby's gut bacteria and helps with memory and attention.
