Postpartum blood sugar screening 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

Women diagnosed with gestational diabetes at the University of Sao Paulo General Hospital will be scheduled for a 75g oral glucose tolerance test between six and 12 weeks after delivery. The intervention uses WhatsApp reminders to try to increase attendance for the OGTT compared with usual care. During the OGTT the team will record fasting, 1-hour, and 2-hour glucose values to compare how often the 1-hour versus 2-hour measurements identify dysglycemia. Data will be analyzed to quantify any change in attendance and the relative detection rates of postpartum dysglycemia using the different time points.
