Summary
This trial will help researchers understand if gestational diabetics who perform 1-hour postprandial blood glucose testing are more likely to adhere to their treatment plan than those who perform 2-hour postprandial blood glucose testing.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women over 18 with a single pregnancy, diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) after 24 weeks using the two-step screening method. It's not for those who had GDM before 24 weeks or have pre-gestational Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
What is being tested?
The study compares how well patients with GDM stick to blood sugar testing if they check it one hour versus two hours after eating. The goal is to see which timing leads to better adherence in completing glucose logs.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves standard blood glucose monitoring, there are no direct side effects from interventions like drugs; however, participants may experience discomfort from frequent finger pricks.
