Active clinical trials for "Diabetes, Gestational"

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Humalog® Mix50/50TM administered as 3 injections daily to Humalog® plus Humulin N® insulin administered as 6 separate injections daily in terms of glucose control for women with Gestational Diabetes.

The management of high-risk pregnancies require substantial use of medical resources. Our goal is to determine the effectiveness of a nurse case management program in which case managers are assigned to patients with high-risk conditions. Our hypothesis is that women with diabetes in pregnancy or hypertension who are assigned a nurse case manager will have lower glucose levels and lower blood pressure levels

This study will look at the impact of health insurance benefits on self management of diabetes for people with this condition. Studies have shown that when people with diabetes manage their disease better, they stay healthier. Our goal in this study is to help those with diabetes better manage their disease (self-care). We will compare two types of health insurance benefits in this study. We want to see if one set of benefits improves self-care more than the other one.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes (high blood sugar) that occurs in pregnant women. This study will determine whether treating pregnant women who have mild GDM improves the health of their babies. The follow-up study will examine whether factors during the previous pregnancy (such as blood sugar during pregnancy) are associated with the woman and her child's health 4-9 years later.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The purpose of this study is to test whether NovoLog (insulin aspart) is a safe and at least as effective alternative to regular human insulin for the control of blood glucose after meals in women who develop diabetes during pregnancy.

PregSource uses a crowd-sourcing approach, asking pregnant women to enter information regularly and directly about their pregnancies throughout gestation and the early infancy of their babies into online surveys and trackers via a website and/or mobile application ("app"). In exchange, participants can track their data over time, print out reports to share with their healthcare team, and see how they compare to other women. In addition, PregSource will provide participants with links to trusted, evidence-based information about pregnancy management, issues, and complications.

multiple dose regimen as a standard treatment for gestational diabetes will be compared to long acting insulin

The primary objective of the study is to determine if RT CGM (Real Time-Continuous Glucose Monitoring) can improve glycemic control in women with T1D who are pregnant or planning pregnancy.

Gestational diabetes mellitus takes place in 2 steps. First, it is the consequence of insulin resistance due to the modifications of the pregnancy hormonal environment, and second, of the deficiency of the beta cells of the pancreas to respond by a sufficient insulin secretion. This physiopathology is closely connected to the one of type 2 diabetes. Insulin, indeed, can remedy these 2 etiologies, but it is logical to think about using oral hypoglycemic agents which have been created to treat them: they are a natural choice because they improve insulin sensitivity (metformin, a biguanide) or insulin secretion (glyburide, a sulfonylurea). It also seems natural to use them in combination, glyburide being added to metformin if needed. OUR GENERAL RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS IS THAT: in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus, using both oral hypoglycemic agents (glyburide added to metformin if needed) allows a glycemic control comparable to the one obtained with insulin, but with a better acceptability from women and a better health status, diabetes treatment satisfaction and well-being and a reduced postnatal depression.

The investigators plan to study a sample of women with prediabetes (diagnosed by Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 5.7-6.4% or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 92-125 mg/dL) in the first trimester of pregnancy, and patients will be randomized to first trimester or third trimester treatment; the first trimester group will receive intervention immediately upon diagnosis of prediabetes whereas the third trimester group will receive only routine prenatal care until 28 weeks at which time they will receive intervention. Intervention is defined as: diabetes education blood glucose monitoring medications as needed growth ultrasounds antenatal testing The primary outcome is umbilical cord C-Peptide >90th percentile. Secondary outcomes include neonatal fat mass at delivery, infant weight-for-length at 12 months of age, maternal gestational weight gain, and biomarkers (chemicals) measured in the placenta and the baby's umbilical cord blood. The investigators hypothesize that women who undergo the above intervention in the first trimester will deliver significantly fewer neonates with umbilical cord C-Peptide >90th percentile, and that the neonates will have lower fat mass, and weight-for-length at 12 months. The investigators further hypothesize that a greater proportion of patients undergoing first trimester intervention will have appropriate maternal gestational weight gain as defined by the Institute of Medicine, and a greater proportion will return to prepregnancy weight within 12 months.
