Read our Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The PREPARED trial is testing a new way to help women with type 2 diabetes take better care of themselves and plan for pregnancy if they want to. The study uses technology—like alerts in your doctor's electronic health record and text messages on your phone—to support you in managing your diabetes, taking your medications safely, and making informed decisions about pregnancy. Half of the women will receive this new technology-based support, while the other half will receive usual care.
Women with type 2 diabetes who want to have children face special health challenges, and many don't get enough support or counseling about how to prepare. This trial aims to see if using technology can make it easier for doctors to talk with patients about pregnancy planning and help women stay on track with their diabetes care between visits.
If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive the new PREPARED technology support or usual care. If you're in the PREPARED group, your doctor will use special alerts during your visits to discuss pregnancy planning and diabetes management, you'll receive easy-to-read printed materials, and you'll get text message reminders to help you with diet, exercise, and taking your medications. You'll attend regular clinic visits and may be asked to share information about your health behaviors and blood sugar control.
