This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This trial, called ACHIEVE, is testing whether a combination of tools—a smartphone app, a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar automatically), and personalized coaching—can help pregnant people with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range. Right now, many pregnant people with diabetes face barriers like lack of transportation to appointments or difficulty tracking their blood sugar. This study aims to see if these new tools and support can make it easier to manage diabetes during pregnancy.

Type 2 diabetes during pregnancy puts both mother and baby at higher risk for serious complications, including early delivery, large babies, and stillbirth. Keeping blood sugar tightly controlled throughout pregnancy is the best way to prevent these problems, but many people face social and practical challenges—like transportation issues or not knowing how to adjust their insulin—that make it hard to reach this goal. This trial is testing whether combining technology and personalized coaching can remove these barriers.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are pregnant and less than 20 weeks along
you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before this pregnancy
you are 18 years old or older
you have Medicaid insurance
you speak English or Spanish
you have access to a smartphone with internet

You likely don't qualify if…

you are not able to understand or follow the study requirements
you do not have reliable access to participate in study activities
you are not willing to use a continuous glucose monitor if assigned to the intervention group
you are not willing to allow the research team to access your medical records

What participation looks like

If you join this trial, you will receive standard prenatal care plus either the new ACHIEVE intervention or standard care alone (decided randomly). If you are in the intervention group, you will use a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor worn on your skin), download the ACHIEVE app on your smartphone to log your blood sugar readings and communicate with your care team, and receive coaching calls to help with both medical and practical challenges like getting to appointments. Throughout your pregnancy, the research team will track your clinic visits, hospital visits, and how often you use the app.
