Gestational Diabetes and Pharmacotherapy (GAP) (NCT03527537)
Gestational Diabetes and Pharmacotherapy (GAP) - A Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating Timing of Pharmacotherapy Initiation for Patients With Gestational Diabetes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to compare two different thresholds for initiation of medical treatment for GDM. Pregnant women diagnosed with GDM will be randomized to either start pharmacotherapy when they have reached at least 20% or at least 40% of capillary blood glucose (CBG) values above the target goal. The investigators hypothesize that a lower threshold of 20% elevated CBG levels, compared to 40%, will lead to lower rates of obstetric and medical complications.
