A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective, single-center observational cohort will recruit pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes after a positive 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, typically between gestational weeks 24 and 28. Participants will attend two study visits during pregnancy, provide clinical samples at delivery, and complete a postpartum visit 8–12 weeks after birth, with clinical data, physical measurements, questionnaires, and biological samples collected from mothers and infants. Approximately 100 women will be enrolled per year at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Medical University of Graz, and women with major fetal anomalies or diagnosis after 32 weeks are excluded. The collected data and biosamples are intended for comprehensive phenotyping to help define mechanisms and early-life outcomes associated with gestational diabetes.
