Ultrasound to detect high insulin in unborn babies
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound images to check for high insulin levels in unborn babies. It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care for moms and babies.

This study tests a new ultrasound system designed specifically for pregnancy imaging. Researchers want to make sure it works well and safely captures clear images of your baby during mid-pregnancy (weeks 18–28).
This study tests whether using a small ultrasound device at home can help monitor high-risk pregnancies in people with gestational diabetes. You would perform quick scans and share them with your doctor remotely.
This study uses ultrasound to see if a mother's blood sugar levels during pregnancy affect the length and size of the baby's liver. It may help understand how gestational diabetes impacts fetal development.
This study tests whether using ultrasound scans in diabetes clinics can help people avoid insulin-induced lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin from injections). It is for people with diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump and have unstable glucose levels despite using a continuous glucose monitor.
This study looks at how diabetes during pregnancy affects the course and outcomes, and whether factors like older age, obesity, and type of diabetes change what happens. It may help doctors better predict risks and improve care for pregnancies affected by diabetes.
This trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
