Lifestyle Intervention vs. Metformin for Postpartum Weight Loss after Gestational Diabetes
This study is looking at whether a lifestyle intervention or the medication Metformin is more effective for weight loss in mothers who recently had gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy). You could be eligible if you are a woman between 18 and 45 years old, and are 8 weeks to 12 months postpartum (after giving birth) from a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes. The study aims to see if either approach helps with weight loss over 6 months. Researchers will compare participants who receive Metformin Hcl 850Mg Tab to those who receive a Lifestyle Intervention or an Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention. The study plans to enroll 60 participants, but its current status is unclear.
