This study is looking at whether drinking a high-protein beverage called Genius Gourmet Sparkling Protein Water during labor can help manage blood sugar levels in pregnant women with diabetes. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a single pregnancy, are at least 37 weeks pregnant, and have gestational diabetes (GDM A2) or Type 2 diabetes that requires insulin. The study wants to see if the protein drink keeps blood sugar in a healthier range compared to a standard clear liquid diet, how you feel about the drink, and if it affects your baby's blood sugar after birth. The main goal is to measure the percentage of time your blood sugar is above 110 mg/dL during labor. The study plans to enroll 60 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the high-protein beverage or a standard clear liquid diet. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) will be used, but the data will be hidden from you and your care team during labor.

What's involved

You would have a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor placed on your arm upon admission, which stays in place through delivery and up to 7 days postpartum. If assigned to the protein beverage group, you would be offered the drink every 4 hours during labor.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor remains in place up to 7 days postpartum.
