Filter by:The goal of this trial is to compare different means of glucose monitoring in women with gestational diabetes and a history of gastric bypass surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: How does continous glucose monitoring impact the treatment and affect pregnancy outcome in these women. Participants will be randomized to either continous glucose monitoring or regular capillary glucose measurements during the last trimester of their pregnancy. Researchers will compare the glucose measurement outcomes, the glucose lowering treatment given and pregnancy outcomes between groups.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of routine exercise counseling compared to the recommendation for postprandial ambulation on infant birthweight among pregnant people with gestational diabetes mellitus. The primary outcome is birthweight percentile for gestational age at delivery. Secondary outcomes include feasibility and acceptability, need for metformin or insulin for glycemic control, mode of delivery, neonatal hypoglycemia. Participants will be counseled to either complete 20 minutes of walking after meals, or be counseled with routine exercise counseling of 30 minutes of low-impact 5x a week. Their activity will be tracked by "FitBit" pedometers and uploaded via bluetooth to a database for review. They will continue to receive routine obstetric and diabetes care.
Prospective cohort study to determine to what extent women with type 2 diabetes are achieving the time in the target range outlined for women with type 1 diabetes (70-140 mg/dl or 3.5-7.8 mmol/l), overall and by trimester, by standard CGM measures and functional data analysis
This research study is called 'PRenatal and Obstetric Maternal Exposures and ISlet Autoantibodies in Early Life: The PROMISE Study'. The purpose of this study is to find out more about how exposures during pregnancy, such as having an infection, diet and growth may impact later risk of type 1 diabetes (TID) and islet autoimmunity in the child. We are also interested in finding out more about why having a father or sibling with T1D increases risk of autoimmunity in the child more than having a mother with T1D. We are enrolling women who are pregnant and either have T1D or another first degree relative (father or full sibling) of the baby has T1D. The biological father is also invited to enroll in study, as it is important to understand how the father's health and genetics may contribute to the child's risk of developing T1D. The study procedures for the mother, father and baby are explained below. Mother: Pregnant women will be asked to complete a visit once per trimester (3 visits) during pregnancy and one visit up to 12 weeks after delivery. At each visit, mothers will consent to a blood draw, collection of biological samples and the completion of questionnaires. . Mothers who have T1D will also be asked to download any diabetes device data they have, such as continuous glucose monitor or insulin pump data. Father: The (biological) father will be invited to enroll in a single visit. He will consent to a blood draw and completion of questionnaires. Fathers with T1D will also be asked to download any diabetes device data they have, such as continuous glucose monitor or insulin pump data. Baby: The baby will have blood collected at birth to determine the genetic risk for T1D. Families will consent to the completion of questionnaires about growth, health and diet at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of age and between 5-7 years of age, and to complete blood testing for islet autoantibodies at 24 months and between 5-7 years of age. For those children with a high genetic risk score, we will also collect blood for autoantibody testing at 6, 12, and 18 months of age.
We propose a pragmatic, unblinded, randomized controlled, single center trial of 56 pregnant individuals with Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Our study proposes a pragmatic randomized control trial of patient led rapid titration of basal insulin compared to standard therapy. There is a planned subgroup analysis of patients with and without concomitant metformin usage. Patients will continue routine clinic visits. Patients who are initiated on basal insulin or started on night-time basal insulin within 7 days will be approached about the study. Patients who agree to be enrolled will sign informed consent.
To conduct a pragmatic, non-blinded randomized controlled trial (pRCT) of immediate in-patient postpartum OGTT prior to delivery discharge (intervention) versus 4-12 week outpatient postpartum OGTT (current standard care) to improve the frequency of post-partum diabetes screening among individuals with a pregnancy complicated by GDM.
Poor glycaemic control in pregnancy is a major factor leading to obstetric complications and future maternal-offspring diseases. This phenomenon is evidenced in women with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), and is worrisome since it is aggravating the disease burden of this and next generations. Exercise is a promising tool to improve glucose control during pregnancy and thus avoid adverse consequences. The MERIT1D study will explore when is exercise (before or after lunch) more effective to improve postprandial glycaemic control in pregnant and non-pregnant women (of reproductive age) with T1DM, and the mechanisms underlying these metabolic responses.
The obesity epidemic is growing worldwide and in the UK this is perpetuated with a third of women classified as overweight/obese in 2020. Many of these woman are of childbearing age and go on to have high risk pregnancies which are often complicated by gestational or pre-existing (type 2 diabetes mellitus (GDM, T2DM). Bariatric surgery is the most successful treatment of sustainable weight loss and is associated with a reduction in rates of GDM, pre-eclampsia, delivery of large babies but increased risk of delivery of small babies and preterm delivery. The aims of the study are to investigate the maternal and fetal/neonatal, biophysical and biochemical, intra-uterine environment and postnatal profile of pregnancies: 1. affected by maternal obesity and/or GDM/T2DM compared to pregnancies with normal maternal body mass index (BMI). 2. with previous maternal bariatric surgery compared to pregnancies without previous bariatric surgery but matched for maternal pre-surgery and early pregnancy BMI.
Pregnancies in women with pre-existing diabetes are considered "high risk" pregnancies, poses daily clinical challenges and in terms of research - a number of unanswered questions. Therefore, the investigators wish to establish a nationwide cohort of pregnancies complicated by pre-existing diabetes - the Danish Diabetes Birth Registry (DDBR2) The DDBR2 registry comprises all types of pre-existing diabetes including T1D, T2D and other types (as MODY), generating a nationwide cohort of mother/partner/children trios with accessible registry-, clinical data and biological biobank samples. This will enable the investigators to use data longitudinally to examine short- and long-term outcomes of pregnancies in women with diabetes.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most prevalent complication in pregnancy. Patients' follow-up and treatment is performed in specialized GDM clinics that teach and support women in implementing lifestyle changes, blood glucose self-monitoring, and nutritional and pharmacologic therapy. Recently, mobile health (mHealth) applications have been introduced as a resource to improve self-management and follow-up among pregnant women. The proposed study will examine the efficacy of the GDM management mHealth application in improving patients' compliance and satisfaction, glycemic control, and pregnancy outcomes. A multicenter randomized controlled trial of women with GDM treated in the GDM clinics. Women will be randomly allocated to a research group that will use the GDM application and a control group that will receive regular follow-up without the GDM application. The primary outcome is patient compliance, defined as the actual blood glucose measurements/instructed measurements ×100. Secondary outcomes include glycemic control parameters, and maternal and neonatal complications.
