A Randomized Controlled Trial of Diabetes Screening Immediately Postpartum (DIP) and Follow Up PP CARE

Study Summary

DIP : To conduct a pragmatic, non-blinded randomized controlled trial (pRCT) of immediate in-patient postpartum OGTT prior to delivery discharge (intervention) versus 4-12 week outpatient postpartum OGTT (current standard care) to improve the frequency of post-partum diabetes screening among individuals with a pregnancy complicated by GDM. Follow up PP CARE: To engage with individuals with a history of GDM through a patient-centered mixed-methods survey and qualitative assessment to evaluate the barriers to and facilitators of Cardiovascular health (CVH) counseling and risk-reduction postpartum at the patient and healthcare system levels inclusive of Social determinants of health (SDOH) and structural factors, as well as patient preferences and perspectives on CVH and wellness interventions

Primary Outcome

For patients randomized to inpatient immediate postpartum OGTT, completion of the inpatient test will be confirmed and documented by study staff prior to patient discharge. For patients randomized to the inpatient immediate postpartum OGTT who do not undergo inpatient testing and for patients randomized to the outpatient 4-12 week OGTT, individuals will receive an electronic survey via email at 12 weeks inquiring as to whether they underwent postpartum outpatient OGTT and about the results of te
