Repeat diabetes testing for large babies and cesarean rates
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks if doing another diabetes test later in pregnancy for women whose baby is large can reduce the chance of needing a cesarean section. It may help you understand your risk and options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
