Monitoring glucose levels in pregnant women to improve gestational diabetes diagnosis

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 study investigates the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to better diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women of Chinese and Indian ethnicity. It aims to correlate CGM glucose values with traditional oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results and assess the impact of glucose variability on maternal and fetal outcomes. By focusing on a specific population in Singapore, the study seeks to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of CGM in managing GDM and improving pregnancy outcomes. The research will involve a single-arm intervention where participants will wear a CGM device during their pregnancy.
