Trial summary

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicates 5 to 30 % of pregnancies. GDM is defined as hyperglycemia with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Because it is a forerunner of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), professional associations recommend T2DM postpartum screening (T2DM-pPS) at 6 weeks/6 months post… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Can we Screen Type 2 Diabetes on the 2nd Day After Delivery in Women Who Had Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicates 5 to 30 % of pregnancies. GDM is defined as hyperglycemia with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Because it is a forerunner of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), professional associations recommend T2DM postpartum screening (T2DM-pPS) at 6 weeks/6 months post delivery, using a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

However, less than a quarter of these women are screened. This recommendation has failed for multiple reasons; the most important being that busy new mothers must deal with the major inconveniences of returning to a sampling center for a 2h testing session, bringing baby along or paying for a sitter, transportation, parking… A mother-friendly solution is direly needed.

The investigators hypothesize that, in these women, results of an OGTT performed after delivery on the last day of their hospital stay (OGTT-1) will predict results of the recommended OGTT (OGTT-2) at 6 weeks/6 months postpartum.

The main aim of our project is to determine the optimal cut-off value for the 2h glucose result during OGTT-1 in order to predict abnormal glucose tolerance status at OGTT-2 (the gold standard), in the same woman.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oral glucose tolerance test 2 days post-partum in people with 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 1 May 2019. 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?

Diagnosis of abnormal glucose tolerance (time frame: 12 weeks postpartum). 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 1 May 2019.
