Viral infections before pregnancy and gestational diabetes risk
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether respiratory viral infections around the time of pregnancy affect the risk of gestational diabetes. If you had a cold or flu recently, joining could help us understand and improve care for pregnant people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be female and between 20 and 45 years old.
- You had a respiratory viral infection (like cold, flu, or COVID-19) within 6 months before pregnancy or during early pregnancy (before 24 weeks).
- You do not have type 1 or type 2 diabetes that was diagnosed before pregnancy.
- You are not on long-term immunosuppressants or steroids, and you do not have severe immune or metabolic conditions (like HIV, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis).
- You do not have severe mental illness or cognitive impairment, and your medical records must include gestational diabetes screening and delivery information.

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 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 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 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.
This study tests whether learning healthy habits during pregnancy and after birth can help women with gestational diabetes manage their blood sugar and stay healthy. If you join, you may get extra support to improve your diet and activity.
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.
