Can HbA1c predict pregnancy complications?
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- You have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) using standard guidelines (blood sugar levels at least 5.1 or 7.8).
- You have had at least one HbA1c blood test during pregnancy.
- You will deliver after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- You do not have a major fetal abnormality.
- You do not have moderate or severe anemia (hemoglobin above 9 g/dL).
- You do not have an autoimmune disease (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis).
- You do not have diabetes that existed before pregnancy (type 1 or type 2).

This study looks at blood sugar levels in early pregnancy to understand how they differ between women with and without risk factors for gestational diabetes. If you join, you'll wear a small monitor that tracks your glucose continuously for about 3 to 4 months.
This study is looking at pregnant people who have early signs of gestational diabetes in the first half of pregnancy. It may help find safer ways to monitor or treat early diabetes-related blood sugar changes to improve pregnancy outcomes.
This study follows pregnant people to understand gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) and how it shows up and is monitored. It may help improve future screening and care for gestational diabetes.
This study looks at whether checking blood sugar levels earlier or later in pregnancy is better for women who had gestational diabetes before. It aims to find the best time to start monitoring to help protect both mom and baby.
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 compares a tighter blood sugar goal versus a standard goal in pregnant people with gestational diabetes who are also overweight or obese. It may help find whether stricter blood sugar control improves pregnancy outcomes.
