Filter by:This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial of 828 overweight and obese individuals with gestational diabetes designed to compare standard to intensive glycemic targets.
The purpose of the study is to compare rates of neonatal hypoglycemia with maternal NPH vs determir use.
This study aims to test the following hypotheses in a longitudinal, observational study in pregnant women who will be randomized to received either a Blinded or Unblinded CGM sensor and followed-up 6-12 weeks after delivery: 1. CF-CGM device is well tolerable and accurate for glucose level monitoring in women with a normal pregnancy. 2. CF-CGM device is well tolerable and acceptable in women with GDM who are required intensive glucose monitoring on a daily basis during pregnancy and even after delivery. 3. There are trimester-specific glucose profiles observed in the whole pregnancy. 4. Pregnancies complicated with GDM would show a specific glucose profile that is different from non-GDM pregnancies (e.g. greater daily fluctuations, more episodes and longer duration of glucose spikes after meal). 5. There is a good correlation between one-day glucose profile and OGTT test at 24-31 weeks gestation GDM screening. 6. Pre-GDM screening glucose profiles is predictive of GDM diagnosis at 24-31 weeks gestation.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study is to address whether the addition of extra virgin olive oil to the diet of women with GDM improves maternal triglyceridemia and reduces insulin requirement and diagnosis of diabetes at postnatal reclassification.
Gestational diabetes is the most common metabolic abnormality during pregnancy. In a Swedish population 2-10% of all pregnant women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The frequency differs dependent of methods for screening and diagnostic references, even within Sweden. Women with GDM have about 50% risk to develop manifest type 2 diabetes (T2DM) within 20 years. Most counties in Sweden have a recommendation to follow women with GDM yearly with an examination and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Unfortunately, this recommendation often fails, partly due to limited resources at the health care units but also due to lack of compliance from the women. Often after the baby is born focus is changed from the mother to the child and only 30.7% of the women with one or more risk factors performed an OGTT, despite stipulated OGTT in local guidelines. The diagnose GDM is under debate and Sweden has started to implement the recommendations from World Health Organisation (WHO) from 2013 with a lower cut-off for GDM, which will increase diagnostic sensitivity and consequently increase the number of women diagnosed with GDM. The plan was to conduct a randomized, clinical trial testing implementation the new recommendations in Sweden step-wise from 2018 and onwards. The recruitment is now complete and the results are expected to be published in 2021. The overarching aim of this study is to conduct a randomized, controlled clinical trial to test the effect of a model for a lifestyle intervention in clinical practice, using technical support as well as personal, individual support. The intervention is based on the existing organisation and structure in Primary Care and would thus be inexpensive and straight-forward to implement. An additive aim is to explore background mechanisms for the development of type 2 diabetes in women with gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is defined as 'pregnancy-onset or first noticed glucose intolerance'. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of circuit exercise program applied in addition to diet therapy on cognitive function, functional exercise capacity, mobility, depression and quality of life in women with gestational diabetes. 60 female participants between the ages of 18-35 who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups as diet group (n=30) and exercise group (n=30). All participants will receive GDM-specific dietary therapy for 6 weeks. In addition to diet therapy, individuals in the exercise group will be given a circuit exercise program for 6 weeks. Participants will be evaluated for blood values, cognitive status and functionality at the baseline and 6 weeks later.
This study aims to test the following hypotheses in a randomized controlled trial of post-partum women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) that will be followed up for up to 4 years: 1. Post-partum pregnancy is ideal for behavioural modification and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Using the continous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor and an exercise tracker will promote self-motivation and awareness by positive reinforcement and behavioural changes to improve diet, control body weight and increase physical activity in this group of post-partum women who are at high risk for developing Type II Diabetes. 2. The use of the continous glycose monitoring (CGM) sensor and exercise tracker will motivate women to modify their dietary food intake and physical activity over time, reducing their cardiovascular risk factors for developing metabolic syndrome by lowering their baseline blood pressure, BMI, reducing their waist circumference and body fat mass, glycaemic levels and fasting lipids within the targeted healthy range. 3. There will be an increase in the quality adjusted life years (QALYs) gained based on improvements in HbA1C and other proximal outcomes at the end of the trial.
This prospective nested case-control study aims to examine the effects of blood vitamin B levels in first-trimester pregnant women on the pregnancy outcomes
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if in patients with gestational diabetes (GDM), adherence to postprandial glucose monitoring differs when performed 1-hour versus 2-hours after eating. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate difference in rate of adherence (binary outcome defined as <80% or ≥80% of glucose log completed) between gestational diabetics who perform 1-hour versus 2-hour postprandial blood glucose testing.
This study aims to develop and implement a long-term program focused on the prevention of type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women of reproductive age through lifestyle modification. This is a cluster-randomized trial whereby 6 health centers across Kisantu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will be randomized to an intervention group (3 health centers) or a comparison group (3 health centers). The intervention group will be provided with a preventive program based on educational + motivational strategies when the comparison group will be limited to an educational strategy only. This study will last 24 months and is limited to women of reproductive age (18-49 years), pregnant and non-pregnant. Evaluation of this research will use mixed longitudinal analyses for healthy lifestyle adherence, anthropometric and clinical indicators, diet quality, and physical activity. Expected results of this study for women of reproductive age include the prevention of T2DM and GDM through the acquisition of healthy lifestyle behavior, reaching and maintaining an optimal weight, blood pressure and glycemia, and adhere to the weight gain recommendations during pregnancy. Other expected achievements encompass improvements in the usability of data capturing systems, expand knowledge among health care providers on effective strategies for T2DM and GDM prevention and improve the technique and precision of measurements concerning health visits among health care providers, among others.
