ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "GDM and Its Consequences in Mothers and Offsprings" is studying gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a common condition that occurs during pregnancy. The goal of the study is to understand both the short-term and long-term effects of GDM on mothers and their babies. Researchers will look at various outcomes such as the health of the baby at birth, growth and development during childhood, and potential health issues in the future, like obesity and diabetes. They will also collect blood and tissue samples from mothers and children to help with this research.

To participate in this trial, pregnant women must be diagnosed with gestational diabetes and plan to deliver at the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center. Additionally, they should be permanent residents or intend to stay in Guangzhou for at least three years with their child. Women with pre-existing diabetes or certain health conditions, like chronic high blood pressure or kidney disease, are not eligible to join. Participants can expect to be part of a supportive study that aims to improve understanding of GDM and its impacts on families.
