ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to predict gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) early in pregnancy using a device that continuously monitors blood sugar levels. GDM is a common condition that can occur during pregnancy and can lead to complications for both the mother and the baby if not managed properly. Currently, most women are tested for GDM later in their pregnancy, around 26-28 weeks, but this trial aims to see if early detection can help improve outcomes.

To participate in this study, women must be at least 18 years old, be planning to receive their prenatal care at the same location, and be expecting only one baby. Women who have certain medical conditions, like pre-existing diabetes or serious mental health issues, or those who are not able to communicate effectively, may not be eligible. If chosen to participate, women will wear a continuous glucose monitor, which tracks their blood sugar levels throughout the day, helping researchers find out if this method can identify GDM sooner and improve care for both mothers and their babies.
