Determining the Effect of Food Ordering on Blood Glucose In Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (DEFI-GDM)
This study for pregnant women with gestational diabetes looks at whether eating protein/fat foods like scrambled egg before carbohydrate foods like toast affects blood sugar levels, appetite, and body hormones. Researchers hope to find easier ways to manage blood sugar.

Placental Biology in Health and Disease
This study looks at tiny particles from the placenta called 'EVs' to understand pregnancy problems like pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Researchers hope to find new ways to detect and treat these conditions early to help mums and babies.

Imprinting in Metabolic Diseases - Identifying Epigenetic Mechanisms in Human Gestational Diabetes Through Cell-free DNA
This study looks at how parents' health during pregnancy, especially diabetes, might affect their baby's health from the very beginning. Researchers are using blood samples from both parents and the mother's blood (which also has some of the baby's DNA) to understand how genes and environment interact.

The Feasibility Of Expectant Management Versus Induction At 38 Weeks Among Individuals With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial (EAGER Pilot Trial)
This study looks at the best time to deliver for pregnant people with gestational diabetes. It compares inducing labour at 38 weeks with waiting for labour to start naturally, to see which approach is safer for both parent and baby. This is a small first step to plan a larger study.
