Early screening for gestational diabetes in low-risk women
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks if early screening for gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) can help low-risk pregnant women. It aims to find and manage the condition sooner to improve health for both mother and 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 if a digital health app can help detect and prevent gestational diabetes early in pregnancy. It is for women who are at high risk and want to use a phone-based tool to stay healthy.
This study follows pregnant women with gestational diabetes to see how health outcomes for both mothers and babies are affected. It may help improve care for future pregnancies.
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 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 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.
