About this study
Official title: Incidence of Hypoglycemia in Pregnant Women With or Without Diabetes During Fasting in Ramadan
The physiological change in food and sleep pattern during Ramadan impacted hypoglycemia risks among pregnant women. Few studies investigated the incidence of hypoglycemia pregnant women with or without diabetes during fasting in Ramadan in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to understand the glucose variability in pregnant women during fasting Ramadan in Saudi Arabia.
Read the detailed description
Women with normal pregnancy will be compared to women with gestational diabetes on diet or Metformin alone during Fasting Ramadan. They will be monitored and will be observed for incidence of hypoglycemia using continuous glucose monitoring devices.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Continuous glucose monitoringDevice
Home continuous glucose monitoring to be installed for two weeks during fasting Ramadan
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Pregnancy | Pregnant women with no diabetes Receives: Device: Continuous glucose monitoring | |
| Gestational diabetes on diet alone | Not described Receives: Device: Continuous glucose monitoring | |
| Gestational diabetes on diet + Metformin therapy | Not described Receives: Device: Continuous glucose monitoring |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hypoglycemia incidence with fasting
To estimate the incidence of hypoglycemia defined as blood glucose < 70 mg/dl during fasting in pregnant women with gestational diabetes on diet therapy or metformin alone compared to women without diabetes
Measured: 1 month
Secondary outcomes (5)
Glucose variability during fasting Ramadan
To estimate the difference in the groups in glucose variability
Measured: 1 month
Number of days that needed to break fasting
To estimate the difference in the groups in number of days that needed to break fasting
Measured: 1 month
Time in range (TIR)
TIR is defined as blood glucose range between 63-140 mg/dl (3.5-7.8 mmol/L) according to ADA guideline.
Measured: 1 month
Time above range (TAR)
TAR that defined as blood glucose range >140 mg/dl (>7.8 mmol/L) according to ADA guideline.
Measured: 1 month
Time below range (TBR)
TBR that defined as blood glucose range < 60 mg/dl
Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Pregnancy in Diabetic, run by King Abdullah International Medical Research Center at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
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 5 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 4 Jan 2022. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?
Hypoglycemia incidence with fasting (time frame: 1 month). 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 4 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
