About this study

Official title: Is it Possible to Screen for Type 2 Diabetes at Day 2 Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Postpartum?

Within 6 months of delivery, women who had gestational diabetes mellitus should be screened for type 2 diabetes with a fasting plasma glucose test and/or a 2-h postchallenge glycemia in a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. However, not all women are screened. The objective of this study is to compare the screening test for type 2 diabetes done at 48 hours post-partum versus 8 weeks post-partum. The investigators want to measure the specificity, sensitivity, false and true predictive values of the screening test at 48 hours post-partum compared to the gold-standard.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Université de Sherbrooke at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oral glucose tolerance test (time frame: 8 weeks post partum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 May 2018.
