Investigating the risk of diabetes in women with HIV after pregnancy
Official title: Time course and predictors of progression to postpartum prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in HIV: a prospective longitudinal study of low-income Indian women
Funded at Weill Medical Coll of Cornell Univ · NIH-11082212 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how having HIV might increase the chances of low-income Indian women developing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes after they've had gestational diabetes, and it aims to help find ways to prevent diabetes in these women by tracking their health and lifestyle over time.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are low-income women in India who have experienced gestational diabetes and are living with HIV.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who do not have a history of gestational diabetes or are not living with HIV may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding how HIV affects the risk of developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in low-income Indian women after they have experienced gestational diabetes. The study will follow these women over time to identify predictors of diabetes progression, utilizing advanced biostatistical methods to analyze the data collected. Participants will be monitored for changes in their health and lifestyle factors that may influence their risk of diabetes. The research aims to provide insights that could lead to better prevention strategies for this vulnerable population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved screening and prevention strategies for diabetes in women living with HIV, ultimately enhancing their health outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown that women with gestational diabetes are at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes, indicating that this study's focus on HIV's impact is a novel and important area of investigation.
