NCT ID NCT07189221
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This European study tests a program called B2B&ME+ that uses a smartphone app and personal health coaching to help pregnant women at high risk for gestational diabetes. 3600 women will be enrolled across four countries. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce diabetes and improve health for mothers and babies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lifestyle intervention (smartphone app with Bluetooth scale and health coaching)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical way to prevent gestational diabetes and improve long-term health for mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a drug trial. Results depend on how well women follow the program, and benefits may vary across countries and healthcare systems.
