GO MOMs researchers want to find a better way to detect GDM, so that moms can get the care they need and their babies can be healthy.We are looking for 2,150 pregnant women to join this study happening at clinics across the country. If you join you will be in the study during your pregnancy and up to three months after your baby is born.Why is this study being done?Many women get GDM during pregnancy, which can cause problems for the mother and her baby. Her baby may grow too large, which can cause problems during delivery. These babies are also more likely to become overweight or get diabetes in childhood. Moms who have GDM are more likely to get diabetes after their baby is born.Doctors need better ways to test for GDM. GO MOMs hopes to improve testing and treatment for GDM. Mothers will use a glucose sensor to track glucose levels during their pregnancy.When is GDM testing normally done?Most doctors test for GDM around 24 to 28 weeks. If you join our study, we will also test you at that time. If you have GDM then, we will share that with your doctor so your doctor can treat you.What happens if I join?You will have four study visits during your pregnancy. We will also come to see you in the hospital after you deliver your baby and call you a couple of months after you go home. Copy Study URL to Clipboard Copy |
