About
This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial. Subjects with newly diagnosed gestational diabetes will be randomized to either standard of care diabetes education versus standard of care plus an interactive educational application.
Full description
Gestational diabetes is a condition diagnosed during pregnancy that causes blood sugars to rise. Diet and exercise can effectively control blood sugar levels in 70-85% of women diagnosed with gestational diabetes according to the American Diabetes Association. At the investigator's institution, only 50-54% of women with this diagnosis effectively reach the target blood sugar levels with diet and exercise alone. This has become a more commonly seen problem throughout the US. Those that fail to achieve target blood sugar levels require medication and have higher risks of poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. Studies have shown that an increase in education can increase compliance to diet and education. Specifically, media based education that are interactive may more effectively lead to changes in a person's behavior.
