Smartphone App to Restore Optimal Weight in Women With Recent Gestational Diabetes (SPAROW)

NCT03324737 NA COMPLETED

Gestational diabetes (GDM) complicates about 20% of pregnancies in Singapore. These women are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes years after pregnancy; seven times more likely than normal. Achieving a healthy weight post-delivery is key to reduce the risk of future diabetes. This study, from a multidisciplinary team, intends to create a unique seamless care model to restore optimal weight post-delivery in women with recent GDM. The innovation examined in this randomized control trial is an INTERACTIVE SMARTPHONE APP. The APP monitors weight, dietary habits, and exercise activity patterns, gives feedback, and provides practical personalized lifestyle coaching that is culturally appropriate and customized to the Singapore context. If efficacy is confirmed in this RCT, the APP can be easily scaled up as a cost-effective way to potentially prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in Singaporean women. Additionally, measurement of markers of cardiometabolic risk will give indications on future cardiovascular health, utilizing an underused opportunity to improve women's health.
