Early screening for gestational diabetes in low-risk pregnant women
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 a digital health program (like an app or online tool) that helps identify and prevent gestational diabetes early in pregnancy. The goal is to see if this program can lower your chances of getting gestational diabetes and keep you and your baby healthier.
This trial tests whether starting a special nutrition plan early in pregnancy and following it closely can lower the risk of developing gestational diabetes (diabetes that starts during pregnancy). If you are in the nutrition group, you will get extra support and guidance about healthy eating, which may help you and your baby stay healthy.
This study tests whether checking for gestational diabetes (diabetes that starts in pregnancy) early can help identify it sooner in people at higher risk. You may be asked to do a glucose test during your first prenatal visits so clinicians can monitor and respond earlier.
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 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.
