Pregnancy after Weight-Loss surgery: new study tracks blood sugar risks for mom and baby
NCT ID NCT07578597
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 225 pregnant women—some who had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, and some without surgery—to see how blood sugar changes affect fetal growth. Participants wear a continuous glucose monitor and activity tracker for 10 days each trimester. The goal is to learn how often low and high blood sugar occur and how they relate to baby's birth weight.

- If successful, this could help doctors better manage pregnancies after bariatric surgery and improve care for mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in care, and results may not apply to all patients.
