What this research studies
This research focuses on improving blood sugar control for pregnant individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using a combination of technology and personalized coaching. The approach includes a mobile health app, continuous glucose monitoring, and support from a care team to address both medical and social needs. By providing resources and tools, the project aims to empower participants to maintain healthy glucose levels throughout their pregnancy, ultimately reducing risks for both mothers and infants.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are Medicaid-enrolled pregnant individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or do not have type 2 diabetes may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to healthier pregnancies and better outcomes for both mothers and their babies.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that technology-assisted interventions can significantly improve glycemic control in diabetic patients, suggesting a promising approach for this population.
