Melatonin for blood sugar control in gestational diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) can help control blood sugar levels in women with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. If you have gestational diabetes, this study may offer a new way to manage your blood sugar alongside standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
