Study population: Maternal glycemic control in Type I Diabetics during pregnancy will be studied by enrolling patients in two different groups: one will be treated with the current standard of care for a type 1 diabetic pregnancy and the other group will receive the same standard of care in addition to utilizing telemedicine communication of glucose and insulin readings during weeks when there are no recommended physician visits. All participants will be monitored throughout their pregnancy and clinical outcomes will be reviewed upon delivery and a 6-week postpartum visit. This study is important in adding to current literature regarding the role of telemedicine in pregnant type 1 diabetic care as it could potentially lead to changes in the current standard care for pregnant type 1 diabetics.

Who may be able to join

  • type 1 diabetics who are at or less than 16 weeks in their pregnancy
  • 18 years of age or more
  • Voluntary participation

Who cannot join

  • <18 years of age
  • Not Type I diabetic

About this study

Official title: Effect of Telemedicine on Outcomes in Pregnant Women With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Hypothesize that co-managing pregnant type 1 diabetics with telemedicine will have at least equivalent outcomes to those managed with standard care. Comparison of outcomes between pregnant type 1 diabetics being co-managed with telemedicine compared to those receiving conventional care will help identify unanswered clinical questions and areas for improvement in regard to standards of care for pregnant type 1 diabetics. The data generated from this analysis will help determine whether telemedicine can be an effective additional means of care for pregnant type 1 diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

Few studies have researched the use of telemedicine in the management of type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. These studies are additionally limited due to the number of patients as well as several secondary outcomes reported. Therefore, this study will enroll 100 participants to reach a power of 81.8% with HbA1c as a primary outcome and secondary outcomes related to diabetic management such as frequency of hypoglycemia, antenatal hospital stay (percentage requiring admission, length of stay), miscarriage, cesarean section rates, induction of labor, fetal birth weight, gestational age at birth or preterm birth (<34 weeks, <37 weeks), frequency of neonatal hypoglycemia, shoulder dystocia, neonatal death, major and minor anomalies, and neonatal intensive care admission.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Pregnancy in Diabetic, run by Ana Braescu.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2022. 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 was stopped early (reason given: low enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

HbA1c, maternal glycemic control (time frame: first trimester in pregnancy through 6 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 30 Aug 2022.
