First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests an online program to help women who had gestational diabetes get the recommended diabetes screening and lifestyle programs after giving birth. The program includes standard health information plus optional interactive components like values reflection and personalized risk feedback. Researchers will enroll 2,000 women to see which combination works best to increase screening rates and prevent type 2 diabetes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital health outreach intervention (standard health information, values affirmation, tailored risk information, motivational interviewing, action planning)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a scalable way to increase postpartum diabetes testing and lifestyle program uptake, helping prevent type 2 diabetes in women who had gestational diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention trial, not a drug or device study. The effects may be modest, and results may not generalize beyond the specific health system and English-speaking participants involved.
