About this study

Official title: Meal Composition and Frequency in Type 1 Diabetic Women and the Influence on Pre-prandial Blood Glucose Values and Fetal Weight.

The purpose of the proposed study is to assess the distribution of carbohydrates and fat in the diet of women with type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. More specifically, it will look at the distribution of carbohydrate in the diet during weeks 29-32 of pregnancy. The carbohydrate distribution and fat content of the meal will be compared to maternal glucose control, preprandial glucose levels, and the percentile for weight of the infant at birth. In addition, each meal and snack will be classified as low-moderate fat or high fat.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective chart review. Data will be collected on all patients seen whose blood sugar and food logs were at least 75% complete. By calculating carbohydrate amounts at meals and snacks, as well as classifying meals and snacks as high fat, we will examine the correlation to higher preprandial blood glucose values and large for gestational age infants. Preprandial glucose levels will be reviewed, questioning whether the biggest contributor is the composition of the previous meal or additional snacks between meals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes in Pregnancy, run by St. Louis University.

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 10 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 25 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

large for gestational age infants (time frame: 1 year). 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 25 Sep 2017.
