Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who are pregnant and have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy) using a standard two-step test during the third trimester, based on specific measurement guidelines called the Carpenter-Coustan Criteria
• People who are receiving prenatal care at UMASS Memorial and plan to give birth at UMASS Memorial
• People who are willing and able to give their informed consent to participate
• People who are able to complete blood sugar testing in the hospital shortly after giving birth
• People whose blood sugar test results show signs of impaired glucose processing, specifically a fasting glucose level of 126 mg/dL or higher, or a 2-hour glucose level of 200 mg/dL or higher

Who may not be able to join:

• People who had a known diabetes diagnosis before becoming pregnant
• People who are unable to complete a standard oral glucose tolerance test (a test where a sugary drink is consumed and blood sugar is measured), for example due to a history of gastric bypass surgery, a condition called gastric dumping syndrome, or vomiting during the test — either during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth
• People who are currently using systemic steroid medications (steroids taken in a way that affects the whole body, such as tablets or injections, rather than creams applied to the skin) (confirm with trial site)
