Wearable devices to prevent diabetes after gestational diabetes in Asian women

This study is testing whether using two wearable devices — a glucose monitor and a fitness tracker — can help prevent type 2 diabetes in women who developed gestational diabetes during pregnancy. You would wear these devices to track your blood sugar and activity levels, and researchers will compare your health outcomes over 4 years to women who receive standard care and diet advice alone. The study is focused on Asian women, who develop gestational diabetes at higher rates than other populations.

Gestational diabetes affects 15-20% of Asian women during pregnancy and puts them at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes later. There are very few studies in Asia testing early prevention strategies after pregnancy, so researchers want to see if real-time feedback from wearable devices can help women stay healthy and avoid diabetes.
