Metformin for blood-vessel function after pregnancy diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This early study tests whether metformin can improve how small blood vessels work after gestational diabetes (pregnancy diabetes). It may help some people who feel long-term effects after delivery by improving blood-vessel-related function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 12 weeks postpartum and no more than 5 years after delivery
- You either had gestational diabetes during pregnancy (GDM) or were otherwise healthy during pregnancy
- Your blood sugar test (HbA1c) is below 5.7%—no prediabetes or diabetes

This study looks at how blood vessels work in women who had a healthy pregnancy or gestational diabetes. It tests if a substance called ET-1 affects blood vessel function.
This early-stage study looks at how “oxidative stress” (cell damage from stress molecules) may affect small blood vessels after pregnancy, especially in people who had gestational diabetes. The goal is to better understand what’s going on and whether these changes could be linked to future health risks.
This study tests whether taking metformin during pregnancy improves outcomes for people with gestational diabetes. It may help with pregnancy health and baby outcomes compared with the study’s other diabetes care plan.
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.
This trial looks at gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) and may study how it’s managed during pregnancy and postpartum. It may help researchers understand what approaches are safe and useful for people with this condition.
This study tests whether adding probiotics (beneficial bacteria) to standard diabetes medication helps manage high blood sugar during pregnancy. Researchers hope this combination may improve health outcomes for both you and your baby.
