  • Shared Decision Making Intervention for Diabetes Prevention in Women With a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

    open to eligible females ages 18-54

    Our goal is to test whether shared decision making for diabetes prevention can help women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) increase weight loss and adoption of evidence based strategies to lower their risk of incident diabetes.

  • DETERMINE: Detemir vs NPH

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The purpose of the study is to compare rates of neonatal hypoglycemia with maternal NPH vs determir use.

  • DECIDE: A Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Metformin Versus Insulin for the Treatment of Gestational Diabetes

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    This is a non-inferiority patient-centered and pragmatic comparative-effectiveness pregnancy randomized controlled trial (RCT) with postpartum maternal and child follow-up through 2 years of 1,572 individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) randomized to oral metformin versus injectable insulin. This study will determine if metformin is not inferior to insulin in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, is comparably safe for exposed individuals and children, and if patient-reported factors, including facilitators of and barriers to use, differ between metformin and insulin. A total of 1,572 pregnant individuals with GDM who need pharmacotherapy will be recruited at 20 U.S. sites using consistent treatment criteria to metformin versus insulin. Participants and their children will be followed through delivery to two years postpartum.

  • Understand Risk Information to Support and Empower

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    The aim of this trial is to test components of a digital health outreach intervention to promote uptake of postpartum screening and lifestyle programs for diabetes prevention among patients with gestational diabetes (GDM). The outreach intervention, designed to be interactive and delivered online, includes standard health information plus up to four theory-based components, targeting motivational and logistical barriers to engaging in diabetes preventive care during the postpartum period. The trial leverages the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) using a randomized factorial study design.

  • Elucidation of Breast Milk Composition and Structure Over the First Year of Lactation: UC Davis Lactation Study

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This observational study is designed to determine how sugars, lipids and proteins in breast milk vary among mothers; is affected by maternal diet, health and microbiota and vary over the course of lactation. Additionally, the study is designed to determine how the structure and composition of complex milk sugars, maternal health status and diet influence the development and maintenance of infant gut microflora.

  • MIRACLE of LIFE Study

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate cell-free RNA-based biomarkers for predicting a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes in a pregnant person population. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Can cell-free RNA-based biomarkers predict which pregnant people are at greatest risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, preeclampsia)? 2. What is the performance of such biomarkers when predicting an adverse pregnancy outcome (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, TPR)?
