Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1-delayed GDM care until 24-28 weeks if the repeat oral glucose tolerance test at that time still confirms GDM

2-GDM care involves standard management through the local diabetes service: this is identical to local GDM management in all respects including 1x2 hour education session, at least one dietetic session, take home information leaflets reflecting the education session content, food diary, self management including blood glucose monitoring, healthy eating and physical activity, regular clinic attendance with review of blood glucose monitoring and weight, standard obstetric management, pharmacological treatment as directed by the diabetes service staff.

3-attendance at clinic and associated education sessions and therapy will be recorded

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Pregnant women (aged >=18years) with a singleton pregnancy between 4 and 19+6 weeks’ gestation, attending the hospital Book in clinic, with a risk factor for GDM warranting an OGTT according to ADIPS/local guidelines. Ability to read and understand English for consent purposes.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Existing diabetes, inability to give consent, twins or triplets (or more), major active medical disorders (eg psychiatric disease requiring antipsychotic medication), women without a GDM risk factor, women >=20 weeks gestation

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
allocation involved contacting the holder of the allocation schedule who was “off-site”
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
electronic randomisation (SPSS)
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s
The people administering the treatment/s
The people assessing the outcomes
The people analysing the results/data
Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
All women recruited will have an OGTT
Women with GDM will be randomised to referral or 'not for referral to GDM clinic'
women without GDM will also receive the advice 'not for referral to GDM clinic'
The delayed treatment group will therefore be hidden among normal 'decoys'
All women who have not been referred to the GDM clinic will have an OGTT at 24-28 weeks
Phase
Not Applicable
Type of endpoint/s
Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
This is a pilot study.

Analyses will be by intention to treat with a per protocol sensitivity analysis. Data analysis will involve computations of Fisher’s exact tests (for dichotomous outcome measures), Chi-square tests (for categorical data with >2 levels) and ANOVA (for continuous measures). Data will be described using 95% confidence intervals. The SAP will include a priori protocols for withdrawal, distributional transformations, outliers, methods for handling drop outs, any model assumptions including incorporation of covariates into analyses and handling of multiple comparisons.
