Official title
Postprandial Walks for Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes in Pregnancy
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of physical activity on glucose control in pregnant patients with pregestational Type 2 diabetes. The main question it seeks to answer is "will physical activity following a meal improve blood sugar control in pregnant women with Type 2 diabetes?" Researchers will compare the glucose control of two groups: one that walks for 20 minutes after each meal, and one that does not.
Interventions
- Behavioral Exercise
This intervention consists of instructions to walk for 20 minutes after each meal.
Primary outcome measures
- Blood Glucose Time in Range [Time frame: Between 34 and 36 weeks gestation.]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Duration of postprandial walk [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Sleep duration [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Baseline heart rate [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Maximal heart rate during walks [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Frequency of aerobic exercise per week [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Mean glucose level [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Blood Glucose Excursions [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Fasting blood sugar [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Total daily insulin dose [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Rates of fetal demise [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Rates of fetal growth restriction among participants [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
- Rates of preeclampsia among participants [Time frame: From enrollment to delivery, an average of 6 months]
