Strict Versus Permissive Thresholds for Initiation of Pharmacotherapy in Gestational Diabetes (NCT06419777)
Strict Versus Permissive Threshold for Initiation of Pharmacotherapy in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) With Glucometer Use - A Randomized Control Trial (START1)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The aim of our study is to compare neonatal and maternal outcomes using different thresholds for the initiation and titration of pharmacotherapy for gestational diabetes (GDM). Our goal is to compare a strict and permissive threshold. The strict threshold is defined as two abnormal values or more over a one-week period (two fasting values elevated, two of the same post prandial values elevated, or 1 fasting and 1 post prandial value elevated), whereas the permissive threshold is defined as 50% of values elevated over 1 week (50% of overall fasting values, 50% of postprandial values, or 50% of overall values).
