Observational Study: Glucose Levels and Body Image in Mid-Pregnancy

This observational study is looking at how blood sugar levels and body image relate to pregnancy outcomes in women. Researchers want to understand why some women develop gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) even without common risk factors. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a healthy single baby pregnancy, and are between 14 and 28 weeks pregnant. You cannot join if you have a history of diabetes, gestational diabetes, heart disease, or endocrine disease, or if you conceived using IVF. The study will measure your continuous blood glucose (blood sugar) using a Dexcom G7 device and assess your body image using a questionnaire over 10 days.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 50 women. It is not testing a specific treatment, but rather observing health factors.
What's involved
You would have your continuous blood glucose measured with a Dexcom G7 device and complete a Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS) questionnaire over 10 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your blood glucose and body image will be measured for 10 days.

What this trial measures

  • Continuous Blood Glucose via Dexcom G710 days

    Participant will wear a Dexcom G7 CGM for 10 days to measure blood glucose levels (mg/dL)

  • Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS)10 days

    Participants will complete the full Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS) once prior to the start of the 10 day CGM/momentary assessment period and once at the end. The full BIPS scale is 36 items. It assesses body image dissatisfaction. Participants rate each item from one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree). Generally, lower scores indicate higher body satisfaction, while higher scores indicate higher levels of pregnancy-related body dissatisfaction/stress due to body image. Participants will receive 8 items from the scale to assess preoccupation with physical appearance and sexual attractiveness, prioritization of physical appearance over body functioning, appearance related behavioral avoidance, and dissatisfaction with body parts at least 5 times each day during the 10 day CGM/momentary assessment period. The full BIPS will be completed in REDCap. Momentary assessments will be completed via Real Time Assessment In the Natural Environment (ReTAINE).
