Treatment Satisfaction and Treatment Adherence of Diabetic Women Through the Use of FGM

Gestational DiabetesGestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy

The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a glucose tolerance disorder during pregnancy, is increasing. In Germany, it reached 8.58 % in 2019. Standardized treatment has reduced complications for mother and child. Blood self-measurement is currently used to monitor glucose levels, but it is burdensome and disliked by patients. Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) was approved in 2017, but its routine use lacks sufficient data. This pilot project aims to study the impact of FGM on patient satisfaction and adherence to therapy. The hypothesis is that FGM will improve patient experience and increase therapy adherence. The study will include 100 GDM-diagnosed women who will be randomly assigned to FGM or SMBG treatment. The primary endpoint is treatment satisfaction and adherence, measured through step count, physical activity, food error count, and weight gain. The project aims to provide data for patient-centered decision-making on glucose monitoring systems, following the principles of the Association of Diabetes Counseling and Training Professions in Germany (VDBD).

Gestational Diabetes and Antenatal Human Milk Expression

Breastfeeding

Exclusive breastfeeding is global recognized as the optimal infant feeding. Hong Kong is committed to promoting, protecting and supporting the global movement for successful breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding is especially strongly recommended and supported to the maternal history of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). This study aims to examine the acceptability and feasibility of Antenatal human milk expression (AME) as breastfeeding intervention to improve breastfeeding for GDM women. The efficacy of AME practice on the breastfeeding exclusivity will also be investigated. It is hypothesized that AME will increase breastfeeding exclusivity compare with women receiving standard care, and will improve the breastfeeding self-efficacy and reduce depressive symptoms of women after birth.

Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial to Limit Weight Gain in Pregnancy and Prevent Obesity

Pregnancy Weight GainPostpartum Weight Retention3 more

Healthy for Two, Healthy for You (H42/H4U) is an innovative evidence-based pregnancy/postpartum health coach intervention that is remotely-delivered (phone coaching using motivational interviewing, web-based platform, mobile phone behavioral tracking). The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to embed H42/H4U into Johns Hopkins prenatal care clinics that serve a racially and economically diverse population, leveraging existing staff as trained health coaches to test its effectiveness and implementation. The investigators hypothesize that women in the H42/H4U arm will have lower gestational weight gain and lower rates of gestational diabetes, without an increase in low birth weight infants, and that implementation into the investigators' prenatal care clinics will be feasible and scalable.

HIIT vs MICT During Pregnancy and Health and Birth Outcomes in Mothers and Children

PregnancyPostpartum17 more

Regular exercise during pregnancy and postpartum leads to health benefits for mother and child. Inactivity during pregnancy and after delivery is now treated as risky behavior. Physically active pregnant women significantly less often suffer from, among others, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain, lipids disorders, hypertension, preeclampsia, depressive symptoms, functional and structural disorders, including stress urinary incontinence, back pain or diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). Prenatal physical activity reduces the risk of premature delivery and miscarriage, fetal macrosomia, complications in labor or the risk of metabolic disorders in children. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become one of the most popular trends in the fitness sector. The effectiveness of HIIT on a number of health indicators has been proven in various populations but limited data are available on HIIT during pregnancy. The first hypothesis is that the HIIT, implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, as a stronger exercise stimulus, will have a better impact on selected biological and psychological parameters of mothers, as well as on selected health parameters of their children, compared to the MICT (moderate intensity continuous training). Therefore, it promises better preventive effects on pregnancy complications and ailments as well as non-communicable diseases occurring in these populations. In the second hypothesis, it was assumed that HIIT and MICT implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, tailored to the specific needs of the perinatal period, will not differ in the effectiveness of maintaining normal functional parameters in women, including prevention of urinary incontinence, back pain, DRA, etc. Pregnant women who apply for the study will be divided into three groups: those attending the HIIT, MICT or educational programs. During the study, the participants will be under standard obstetric care. As comparative groups, non-pregnant women will be also recruited. The investigators will collect data on selected biological, functional and psychological parameters in the study women at each trimester of pregnancy, during the puerperium and one year after childbirth. The data from the medical documentation on the course of childbirth and the assessment of the new-born, as well as the results of preventive examinations in the study women's children aged one, two, four and six years will be also analyzed.

A Novel Care Pathway in Women With "Low-risk" Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy

This study is a randomized controlled trial to study the effect of the use of a risk stratification screening tool for high- and low-risk gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and the implementation of a new low-impact care pathway for women with low-risk GDM. The study will measure how well the screening tool and new care pathway are used, and the effect of the new low-impact care pathway on glycemic control, perinatal outcomes (large for gestational age, rate of labor induction, mode of delivery, obstetric anal sphincter injury, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal anthropometry) and health resource utilization in women with GDM that are at low-risk of dietary therapy failure.

The MalaYsian GestatiOnal Diabetes and Prevention of DiabetES Study

Gestational DiabetesGDM1 more

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly common condition of pregnancy and is associated with adverse foetal, infant, and maternal outcomes. Over 50% of women with history of GDM will develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) in later life. Asian women experience disproportionate risk of both GDM and T2D compared to women from other ethnic groups. Lifestyle interventions have been proven to be effective in preventing progression to T2DM in high-risk populations. This is a two-arm, parallel feasibility RCT. Sixty Malaysian women with GDM will be randomized to receive the intervention or standard care in the antenatal period to 12 months postpartum. The intervention is a diabetes prevention intervention delivered via a smartphone application developed based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of behavior change and group support utilizing motivational interviewing, which will provide women with tailored information and support to encourage weight loss through adapted dietary intake and physical activity. Women in the control arm will receive standard care.

Exercise in Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes (GDM) impacts 1 in 10 pregnancies; hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia are common features of the condition. Women are recommended to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Exercise both during and out of pregnancy has been shown to be an effective non-pharmacologic tool to reduce glucose and lipid profiles. The goals and purpose of this pilot study is to 1) determine the influence of exercise and the timing of exercise surrounding a meal on glucose and lipid metabolism in pregnant women with GDM and 2) determine the feasibility of low-resistance and aerobic activity and measuring exercise metrics during pregnancy. The overarching objective of this study is to determine the effects of low-resistance and aerobic exercise on glucose and lipids following a meal in pregnant women with GDM.
