NCT ID NCT04362540
First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looks at whether having a fatty liver during pregnancy can help predict blood sugar problems after childbirth in women with gestational diabetes. Researchers will use ultrasound and blood tests to compare insulin resistance in women with and without fatty liver, about 6-12 weeks after delivery. The goal is to identify those who may need closer monitoring to 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.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify women with gestational diabetes who are at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes after pregnancy, allowing for earlier monitoring and lifestyle changes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is relatively small and only follows women for 6-12 weeks after birth, so it cannot prove long-term outcomes or that liver fat directly causes diabetes.
