Managing cardiometabolic risk in women with gestational diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring and mobile health

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial will enroll 120 pregnant women with gestational diabetes in Hsinchu, Taiwan and randomly assign them to routine finger‑prick monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) alone, or CGM plus a health belief model–based lifestyle and mHealth program delivered from mid‑pregnancy through the postpartum period. The behavioral intervention is family‑centered and delivered via mobile health at 24–32 weeks, continued until delivery, with follow-up at 4–12 weeks postpartum. Outcomes measured at baseline, late pregnancy, and postpartum include maternal glycemic parameters, cardiometabolic risk markers, health behaviors, and infant outcomes. The trial will compare changes across the three arms to see if CGM and the added mHealth lifestyle program improve short‑term glucose control and early cardiometabolic indicators.
