Shared Decision-Making Intervention for Gestational Diabetes
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you have used anti-glycemic medications in the past 12 months.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Shared decision-making for diabetes prevention?
Research shows that shared decision-making can help women with a history of gestational diabetes choose effective strategies like lifestyle changes or medication to prevent type 2 diabetes. Additionally, shared decision-making has been linked to better satisfaction with care and improved health behaviors in diabetes management.12345
Is shared decision-making for gestational diabetes safe for humans?
How is the shared decision-making treatment for gestational diabetes different from other treatments?
The shared decision-making treatment for gestational diabetes is unique because it involves patients actively participating in choosing their diabetes prevention strategy, such as lifestyle changes or medication, based on their personal preferences and needs. This approach empowers women with a history of gestational diabetes to make informed decisions, potentially increasing their engagement and success in preventing type 2 diabetes.110111213
What is the purpose of this trial?
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.
