Grape juice for gestational diabetes screening
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a grape juice drink can be used instead of the standard sugary drink for gestational diabetes screening between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy. It might be a more natural and palatable option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and scheduled for a routine gestational diabetes test between 24 and 28 weeks.
- Your pregnancy dates are well-confirmed by an early ultrasound.
- You are willing to follow the study instructions and drink the grape juice provided.
- You are not at high risk for gestational diabetes (like having had it before, having a BMI over 40, or having PCOS).

This study tests whether a candy “sugar twist” drink can be used instead of the usual glucose screening test to find gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It may help make screening easier, but whether you can join depends on your pregnancy timing and prior diabetes risk results.
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 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 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 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 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.
