Study Summary

This trial studies a new screening tool and care pathway for pregnant women w/ GDM, to measure its effects on glycemic control, perinatal outcomes & health resource use.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women diagnosed with low-risk gestational diabetes between 24-32 weeks, who can sign the consent form and plan to give birth at St. Michael's Hospital. It excludes those with preexisting diabetes, multiple pregnancies, or GDM diagnosis outside of the specified timeframe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new care pathway for managing low-risk gestational diabetes using a risk stratification tool. It aims to see how this approach affects blood sugar control, childbirth outcomes like baby size and delivery method, and healthcare resource use.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a new care management pathway rather than medication, side effects are not typical as in drug trials but may include varying levels of stress or inconvenience due to different treatment protocols.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention (Risk Stratification Pathway)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Those randomized to Intervention (Risk Stratification Pathway) will have their demographic and clinical data entered into the risk stratification screening calculator, and will be assigned to either "Low Risk" (Novel (Low Impact) Care Pathway) or "High Risk" (Routine Care Pathway) groups. Women in the Routine Care Pathway group will be followed in the DIP clinic according to routine care protocols and will provide bi-weekly glucometer data. Women in the Novel (Low Impact) Care Pathway group will be followed in the New Care Pathway, which will include continuation of lifestyle and dietary modification, continuation of capillary self blood glucose monitoring, and routine prenatal care.
Group II: Control (Routine Care)Active Control1 Intervention
Those randomized to Control (Routine Care) will continue in-person and virtual visits as per routine care protocols. This group will also provide bi-weekly glucometer data.
