New study seeks easier diabetes test for pregnant women after weight-loss surgery
NCT ID NCT07517406
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether routine blood sugar tests (like fasting glucose and HbA1c) can predict gestational diabetes in pregnant women who have had bariatric surgery and cannot tolerate the standard sugary drink test. Researchers will follow 84 women throughout pregnancy to see if these simpler markers can spot diabetes and related complications. The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable way to screen this growing group of patients.
