Testing a candy-based sugar drink screen for gestational diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a candy “sugar twist” drink can be used instead of the usual glucose screening test to find gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It may help make screening easier, but whether you can join depends on your pregnancy timing and prior diabetes risk results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are currently pregnant.
- You are between 24 and 28 weeks pregnant.
- Your pregnancy has one baby (singleton) or twins or triplets.

This study tests whether a remote glucose monitoring device, used alongside your usual glucose meter, can help manage blood sugar during pregnancy. It may be helpful if you have gestational diabetes or type 2 diabetes in pregnancy and can start before about 30 weeks.
This study tests if a grape juice drink can be used instead of the standard sugary drink for gestational diabetes screening between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy. It might be a more natural and palatable option.
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.
This study tests whether screening for gestational diabetes (diabetes that starts during pregnancy) can be done earlier than usual in women who are at low risk for it. If you join, you may get an early test that could help catch and manage blood sugar issues sooner, which may be better for you and your baby.
This study checks your blood sugar shortly after birth (on day 0 or day 1) to see how well glucose testing works for people who had gestational diabetes. The results may help guide follow-up care and reduce the risk of longer-term blood sugar problems.
This study is testing whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) early in pregnancy can help find and manage high blood sugar, which may lower the risk of problems for you and your baby. You would wear a small sensor under your skin, and the device sends information to a smartphone app.
