Flash Glucose Monitoring in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

FLAMINGO
Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is glucose intolerance diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy. According to literature GDM affects 3-10% of pregnant women and is a risk factor for multiple maternal and fetal complications. During pregnancy GDM significantly increases the risk of fetal macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, birth trauma and Cesarean section. Furthermore, the long-term complications of GDM include increased risk of development of diabetes mellitus type 2 in the mother, as well as increased risk of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome occurrence in their children. It has been well-documented that the risk of above-mentioned complications increases with the level of maternal hyperglycemia. Proper glycemia control is one of the key elements in the effective treatment of GDM. Until recently, glucose monitoring was solely performed using glucose meters, which required multiple fingerpricks. Nowadays, due to the glycemia monitoring systems development, such as flash glucose monitoring (FGM), glucose levels may be measured less invasively through subcutaneous sensor application. As shown in one of the studies, FGM due to the ease of use, was 3 times more often applied as a method of glycemia control than SMBG. As a result, patients from FGM group had significantly better blood glucose control. The main purpose of our study is to evaluate the impact of new method of glycemia control (FGM) on the efficacy of treatment of GDM. By analyzing results of this study, such as mean glycemia levels, number of women requiring insulin therapy and maternal-fetal perinatal outcomes the investigators will provide a scientific basis for more common use of FGM in the population of pregnant women affected by GDM.

Effect of DCC on Neonatal Jaundice and Blood Gas Analysis in Infants Born to GDM Mothers

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Evidence for benefited newborns following delayed cord clamping (DCC), including increasing hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, improving iron stores, and decreasing need for blood transfusion and incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage, in term or preterm infants led the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to recommend a delayed cord clamping at least 30-60 seconds in vigorous term and preterm infants at birth. Although DCC has been found to be beneficial to infants, the additional blood provided by DCC could increase the incidence of jaundice that requires phototherapy and the hyperbilirubinemia, and the time prolonged by DCC might jeopardize timely resuscitation efforts, if needed. The acid-base status in umbilical cord blood at birth reflects the newborn's aerobic and anaerobic intrauterine metabolisms and is an objective measure of the fetal exposure and response to hypoxia during labour. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition in which glucose intolerance develops during pregnancy. It has been estimated in 2009 that nearly 7% of pregnancies are complicated by diabetes and approximately 86% of these cases represented women with GDM. The Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome study (HAPO) revealed that the infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) are at increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, shoulder dystocia, and birth trauma. And newborns to diabetic mothers are at increased risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and hypoxia, a major cause of admission in neonatal intensive care units. There is little direct evidence on the implementation of delayed umbilical cord clamping in the risk group of IDMs. Therefore, it no clear that the effectiveness and impairment of DCC in IDMs. Therefore, the investigators conducted a prospective study in performing DCC in the infants of diabetic mothers versus the newborns with early cord clamping (ECC) to assess the effect of DCC on neonatal bilirubin levels, hyperbilirubinemia incidence, acid-base status and hypoxia in IDMs.

The Impact of Glycemic Index Education on Lowering Dietary GI in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Start date: October 24, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) incidence is increasing worldwide, and within Canada, the Atlantic provinces statistically have been found to have highest prevalence of diabetes. Increasing evidence supports the benefit of following a low glycaemic index (GI) diet in GDM and the Canadian Diabetes Guidelines recommends replacing high GI foods for low GI foods. Despite recommendation to adapt a low GI diet in GDM, there are limitations and barriers recognized to GI utility largely focused on knowledge translation. There is sufficient research to support a low GI diet in benefiting outcomes of GDM, therefore the GI in GDM Online trial will investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a distance low GI education intervention, adapted from Diabetes Canada's GI materials, on producing a difference in average dietary GI between a group with the intervention and standard care.

Characteristic and Modulation of Gut Microbiota on the Consequences of Pregnancy

Start date: December 10, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Since the incidence of maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is on the rise globally, how to improve the intrauterine environment of the offspring and prevent obesity and metabolic diseases from the early life has become a medical research. Since 2012, journals such as Nature and Science have reported that intestinal micro-ecological environments composed of intestinal microbes and their interactions are involved in human body and energy metabolism, and a variety of metabolic diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The incidence is closely related. Although intestinal microbes have an important impact on human health, the research on intestinal microecology during pregnancy is still in its infancy. The current research is still unclear about the relationship between intestinal microecology and pregnancy outcomes and whether it can be a potential target for regulating maternal metabolism and fetal intrauterine environment. Therefore, this study aims to regulate overweight/obese pregnant women by using prebiotic-containing dairy products to explore the effects of interventions targeting intestinal microbes on glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin resistance and risk of GDM in overweight/obese pregnant women. In order to improve the intrauterine environment and reduce the risk of fetal diseases. It is of great significance and value to improve the quality of the birth population in China and to alleviate the medical economic burden caused by obesity and metabolic diseases.

Randomized Controlled Trial Intervention With New Nordic DIet in Women With GestatiOnal Diabetes Mellitus: iNDIGO

iNDIGO
Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study evaluates whether the New Nordic Diet, compared to routine care, will improve glucose control, among women developing gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. Originally, a 10 wk intervention with qualified counseling on New Nordic Diet was planned, and effects on glycosylated haemoglobin A (HbA1c) at gestational age 37 weeks was planned as main outcome. Recruitment started in spring 2020 but had to be halted due to covid-19. Instead, we now conduct a more comprehensive version of the study, with a more intensive intervention consisting of distributed food bags plus dietary counselling for two weeks, and with continuous glucose monitoring during these two weeks to measure main outcome. This is more sensitive to small changes than is HbA1c. With this shorter and more intensive intervention we believe we can address our original hypothesis yet adjust to impacts of the covid-19 situation on the population and health care system.

Effects of Structured Exercise Regime in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Start date: March 12, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Rehabilitation in the field of Obstetrics is an emerging field worldwide although it is still very much neglected in a country like Pakistan. Increasing prevalence of GDM has highlighted the importance of rehabilitation in this specific area. In USA upto14% of pregnancies get GDM problem, 6.8 to 10.4 % in China while in India 27.5% which is exceptionally high. Similarly in Pakistan it has become a common issue. Many observational studies have been done to find the risk factors and causes of GDM. However to the best of investigator's knowledge no experimental study have been done so far on the effects of exercise on physical, physiological and psychological aspects of GDM. Hence a randomized control trial is planned on diagnosed GDM patients in Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi who will recieve supervised structured exercise regeme for 5 weeks and their data will be recorded using reliable tools at the baseline and after 5 weeks to assess the effects of exercise.

Preliminary Exploration on the Operational Standards of Insulin Pump Installation in Diabetes Clinic in China

Start date: December 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), known as insulin pump therapy, has been widely used for diabetes patients in recent years. Many clinical studies have proved the priority of CSII to multiple insulin injections including better glycaemic control with lower daily insulin requirement, lower glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level and reduced risk of severe hypoglycaemia. The best mode of CSII is a kind of programmed and individualized insulin infusion mode. But at present, the applying of insulin pump is mainly during hospitalization period in China, which is not conformed with daily living scenarios of patients. The outpatient insulin pump treatment is much closer to the real living scenarios of patients. However, lack of management experience and widely accepted formative model of insulin pump applying in clinic restricted use of insulin pumps in clinical in China. The investigators aimed to explore a safe and effective management mode of insulin pump operating to enable a wide population to have access to daily use of CSII, and to maximize the rational use of limited medical resources.

Effects of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Children

EOGDMOC
Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to different degrees of glucose intolerance or impaired glucose tolerance,which are commonly found on non-diabetic persons during pregnancy.GDM is an important public health issue that has a huge impact on children's health.According to statistics,the global occurrence of GDM in 2017 was as high as 16.2%.As well as lifestyle changes that are leading to an increased number of women with overweightness and obesity,the increasing number of"older mothers"responding to the second-child policy are raising up the percentile of GDM by the year.infancy and pre-school age are the important stages of physical growth and psychomotor development.At present,there are few domestic and International studies on the impact of GDM on the health of children,and the conclusions are not the same.There is a lack of long-term follow-up and Chinese samples. This study focuses on the current new hotspot in the research of the children's health problems, based on the 1000-day life concept and theory of DOHaD. Prospective cohort study methods and real-world studies were used. To study and clarify the effect of GDM on the neuropsychological development and physical growth indicators of children in China, and further explore the possible mechanism of action and the related indicators of predictive value, looking for possible early intervention targets. The results are expected to expand the data sources of this type of research in China, improve the data quality and clarify the characteristics of this type of population in China, and provide data support for the revision of maternal and child health related policies.

Medical Nutrition Therapy Combined With TPF-DM in Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Start date: May 16, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), GDM is the first time of gestational impaired glucose tolerance in pregnant women. It is the most common complication disease in women of childbearing age. It is associated with the high risk of adverse health outcomes for both mothers and offsprings and the variety of metabolic disease, including type 2 diabetes, etc. As for the epidemiology data of GDM in China, the prevalence is around 18% based on the criteria from the International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Groups, IADPSG. Several studies claimed that the diabetes-specific formula improved glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients. However, the effects of medical nutrition therapy combined with the diabetes-specific formula in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are unclear. Objective: This study examines whether medical nutrition therapy combined with Enteral Nutrition Suspension (TFP-DM, Diason 0.75 kcal/ml) in GDM women could improve the glycemic control and the pregnancy outcomes.
