Active clinical trials for "Diabetes, Gestational"

To determine the effect of using a mobile app versus paper logs on compliance and percentage in range blood sugars in monitoring blood sugar in pregnant women with diabetes.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can lead to adverse perinatal and long-term outcomes, and it is so important to manage this disease in pregnancy. Digitalized managements have been proved economical and effective in some chronic diseases like type II diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the current study was to develop and evaluate a digitalized mode for GDM management using mobile healthcare and some wearable devices. Subjects were randomly divided into a conventional management group and combined digitalized management group after diagnosed with GDM during 24-28 weeks of gestation. The conventional mangement group received conventional GDM management and could freely use the mobile healthcare application. The mobile management group received digitalized healthcare services from artificial intelligence under the supervision of obstetricians, in addition to conventional management. The effectiveness of digitalized management were evaluated mainly through the result values of the labotatory tests related to blood glucose controlling and perinatal outcomes.

The goal of the study is to examine the impact of an educational video on the rate of breastfeeding in mothers who had gestational diabetes mellitus, and the rate of type-II diabetes mellitus diagnosed postpartum.

The aim of this study is to utilise ultrasound, using an established method for detecting NAFLD, to determine whether the presence of NAFLD in women with GDM, detected during routine scanning, is a marker of deterioration in glycaemic status post-partum. We propose to assess the relationship between NAFLD and surrogates for insulin resistance as well as glycaemic status, insulin sensitivity and β-cell function, after delivery. The study is not seeking to compare the incidence of T2DM between those with and without NAFLD. This would require a longer follow-up and larger cohort size. Instead, it aims to quantify the degree of early deterioration of glycaemic status in these groups using insulin resistance markers. This is a clinically important issue as a greater level of insulin resistance would in itself trigger clinical intervention, including vigilant follow-up and empowerment for proactive healthy life style changes, which have been shown to prevent diabetes development .

In order to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on mothers with gestational diabetes and their offspring in the first 18 months of life, The intervention will be applied to mothers with gestational diabetes, and a group of mothers without diabetes, against a control group with the normal post-partum treatment. Effects on overweight and obesity will be evaluated in both mothers and offspring.

The continual glucose is going to increase time-in-range compared to the standard method in women with gestational diabetes

This project focuses on evaluating a health promotion intervention among families where the mother has prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the first year after delivery. The intervention focuses on the individual, family and health system levels. The aim is to increase quality of life and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes among women with prior GDM and their families.

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a widely available, evidence-based intervention that promotes weight loss to prevent type 2 diabetes; however, participant attendance is problematic and leads to suboptimal weight loss, especially among Hispanic, non-Hispanic black, and low-income non-Hispanic white participants. An innovative pre-session enhancement to the NDPP (Pre-NDPP) showed successful results upon initial application in a diverse and predominately low-income population, with doubled attendance and weight loss outcomes as compared to previous NDPP participants who did not receive a pre-session. If Pre-NDPP is shown to be successful upon more rigorous study, it can be widely adopted by NDPP providers across the country to help reduce diabetes prevalence and related health disparities.

Prolactin (PRL) and PRL receptor (PRLR) signaling has been validated to play an important role in the modulation of glucolipid metabolism. However, the role of serum PRL levels in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains unclear. The investigators aimed to explore the possible influence of serum PRL within or without normal range on the development of GDM.

This is a prospective, observational study which examines the association between maternal triglycerides in the antepartum period and fetal overgrowth in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes. Mothers are asked to provide 2 blood samples, undergo fingerstick blood measurements, and to have their newborns measured for body fat composition in the first 6 months of life.
