What if late pregnancy fasting glucose can signal late-onset gestational diabetes?

Official title: Are There Any Clinical Benefits to Screening for Late -Onset Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?"

Run by Izmir Ataturk Training and Research Hospital · NCT07776314 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether a fasting blood sugar of 92 mg/dL or higher at 32–34 weeks in women who didn’t have GDM earlier can flag late-onset gestational diabetes and relate to mother and baby outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are singleton pregnancies between 32+0 and 34+6 weeks gestation with prior negative GDM results or no GDM testing.

Probably not a fit

Patients without elevated fasting glucose or those outside the 32–34 week window may not benefit from this screening approach.

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 screens pregnant people who previously tested negative for GDM or never had GDM, using a fasting blood glucose test at 32–34 weeks to see if fasting glucose ≥92 mg/dL indicates late-onset GDM. It then explores connections between this finding and perinatal and maternal outcomes. The goal is to inform screening practices and recommendations for late-stage gestational diabetes. The study is conducted at Izmir Katip Çelebi Atatürk Training and Research Hospital in Izmir, Turkey. Participation requires consent and follow-up through the postpartum period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If late-onset GDM is detected reliably, care plans could be adjusted to improve maternal and newborn outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research shows that GDM screening and management can improve outcomes, but late-onset screening strategies are less defined, making this approach relatively exploratory.
