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.
