Monitoring glucose levels in women after gestational diabetes

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 observational study investigates the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in postpartum women who have experienced gestational diabetes (GDM). Participants will wear a CGM device at 6-8 weeks postpartum to track their glucose levels and will complete surveys regarding their quality of life during this period. The goal is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of CGM as a screening tool for ongoing dysglycemia in women with a history of GDM, as traditional follow-up methods have low adherence rates. Data collected may inform future studies on the effectiveness of CGM in this population.
