Immediate Postpartum Glucose Tolerance Testing (NCT04199676)
Immediate Postpartum Glucose Tolerance Testing Among Gestational Diabetics: A Comparison to the Gold Standard
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of a 2hr glucose tolerance test administered during the postpartum hospitalization with the standard of care glucose tolerance testing (administered at 6 weeks postpartum). The primary hypothesis is that the glucose tolerance test administered in the postpartum period will be accurate and will improve compliance with postpartum testing for gestational diabetics.
