Blood sugar and baby's liver growth in pregnancy
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 24 and 36 weeks pregnant based on an early ultrasound.
- Your blood sugar was normal early in pregnancy, but you have since been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM).
- You are carrying a single baby (not twins or more).
- Your baby has no known birth defects or chromosomal problems.
- You do not have preexisting diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid disease.

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 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 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 follows pregnant women to see if breastfeeding while pregnant with a previous child helps protect against gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) in the current pregnancy. Researchers will track blood sugar levels and ultrasound measurements throughout pregnancy.
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.
