Postpartum Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Risk Evaluation in Patients With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: POSTPOD Trial
University of California, Los Angeles
Summary
This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) within hours of delivery to predict long-term risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Participants will be provided a CGM within 2 hours after delivery and wear the device for 24 hours. Participants will be instructed to peel off the device after 24 hours. Participants will also be asked to complete two surveys regarding their experience at 1-3 months postpartum and 12-14 months postpartum.
