Official title
Frequency of Blood Glucose Monitoring in Patients With Gestational Diabetes: A Randomized, Non-Inferiority Pilot Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing. GDM requires patients to test their blood glucose at least four times daily. The investigators propose to prospectively evaluate blood glucose testing done every day compared to every other day. The primary goal is to establish the most cost-effective modality while still being able to detect patients who require therapy in a timely fashion. The investigators plan to evaluate this new management scheme utilizing a non-inferiority trial design. The investigators primary research question is the following: When managing patients with GDM, is every other day blood glucose testing non-inferior compared to every day blood glucose testing, as measured by the difference of less than 5% in birth weight?
