Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM, high blood sugar in pregnancy) develops. We hope to understand the differences between women who are diagnosed with GDM and those who are not. Another purpose is to understand how GDM can progress to Type 2 Diabetes after the baby is born. We also hope to learn about infants born to mothers with GDM compare to infants born to mothers not diagnosed with GDM.
 
This study is taking place currently in Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Evansville, Indiana. 

Detailed description of study

As part of Indiana University Grand Challenges Precision Health Initiative Diabetes Team, this prospective cohort study seeks to better understand and identify differences in women who develop gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) between those who don't.
 
Participants will be asked to come for up to 5 in person visits; three during pregnancy and two after you deliver your baby.  At these visits, participants will be asked to provide blood and urine, answer questions about their pregnancy and health, and take surveys.  Participants will be given an activity monitor to wear (like a Fitbit) and will be asked to download a nutrition app to take photos of what they eat.
 
 
Participants will be compensated for their participation.

This study investigates how Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), which is high blood sugar during pregnancy, develops and the differences between women who are diagnosed with GDM and those who are not. The study also aims to understand how GDM can progress to Type 2 Diabetes after childbirth and how infants born to mothers with GDM compare to those born to mothers without GDM.

Participants will attend up to 5 in-person visits, including three during pregnancy and two after delivery. During these visits, they will provide blood and urine samples, answer questions about their health and pregnancy, and complete surveys. Participants will also use an activity monitor and a nutrition app to track their diet.

  • Who can participate: Pregnant women who are less than 20 weeks pregnant with one child can participate. Women with a current diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus are excluded.
  • Study details: Participants will provide samples, answer health-related questions, and use an activity monitor and nutrition app.
