Recruiting studies
- NCT06215352Recruiting
Meal timing and blood sugar during pregnancy
This study looks at how when and what you eat during early pregnancy affects your blood sugar levels. It may help find ways to improve glucose control for expecting mothers.
Taipei, Zhongzheng DistrictAges 20 years+ - NCT06285396Recruiting
Diabetes and medication effects on uterine muscle during C-section
This trial studies how three medications (ephedrine, phenylepinephrine, and norepinephrine) affect the contraction strength of uterine muscle tissue from pregnant people with type 2 or gestational diabetes during planned C-sections. It aims to understand if these drugs act differently in people with diabetes, which could help tailor safer treatments for low blood pressure during surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 19–45 - NCT07332416Enrolling by invitation
Glucose monitor for postpartum diabetes screening
This study tests if a continuous glucose monitor can help screen for diabetes after pregnancy in people who had gestational diabetes. It aims to make screening easier and more comfortable than the traditional glucose drink test.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06445530Recruiting
Nutrition help for postpartum recovery in Black women
This study tests a nutrition program to help Black women with low income recover after giving birth. You may qualify if you had gestational diabetes, are the main meal planner, and are willing to take online surveys.

Reducing sweeteners in pregnancy and breastfeeding
This study tests whether lowering non-nutritive sweetener (like diet soda) intake during pregnancy and while breastfeeding can improve health for both you and your baby.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–45 - NCT06571487Recruiting
Growth hormone resistance in beta cells after pregnancy
This study looks at how the body's insulin-making cells (beta cells) might become resistant to growth hormone after a full-term pregnancy. It compares women who had gestational diabetes to those who didn't, to learn more about diabetes risk. You may join if you had a healthy single-baby pregnancy in the last 5 years and never had type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–45 - NCT07174245Recruiting
Using a CGM in pregnancy and postpartum for gestational diabetes
This trial tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during pregnancy and after delivery helps women with gestational diabetes. It aims to see if the Dexcom G7 can improve health outcomes for both you and your baby.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06676254Recruiting
Can HbA1c predict pregnancy complications?
This study checks if HbA1c (a blood test for average sugar levels) can help predict problems late in pregnancy for women with gestational diabetes (GDM). If you have GDM and are past 28 weeks, you may join.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges Any age - NCT06781775RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin vs insulin for gestational diabetes
This trial compares two medicines—metformin pills and insulin shots—to see which works better for controlling blood sugar in gestational diabetes. You may be able to join if you have gestational diabetes that needs treatment and are willing to take either medicine.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–50 - NCT06833554Recruiting
Breast milk cells and infant health in mothers with metabolic conditions
This trial studies how special cells in breast milk from mothers with metabolic diseases (like obesity or diabetes) affect infant development and lung infection response after a nutritional intervention. It aims to understand if improving mother's diet can strengthen baby's immune system.
Málaga, MalagaAges 18–50 - NCT06844019Recruiting

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–50 - NCT06976164Recruiting
Reflexology for Gestational Diabetes
This study tests whether reflexology (a gentle foot massage therapy) can help manage blood sugar in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. It is for women who are in the middle to late stages of pregnancy and are otherwise healthy.
CairoAges 20–35 - NCT07009704Recruiting
Glucose monitoring and support in pregnancy study

CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07470320Recruiting
Placenta study in healthy and complicated pregnancies

OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT07489456Recruiting
Blood sugar screening after pregnancy for women with gestational diabetes
This trial checks how many women develop abnormal blood sugar levels after having gestational diabetes. It involves a simple glucose drink test 6 to 12 weeks after delivery.
