What this Trial Is About
The aim of the GLORIA study is to determine whether an altered glucose metabolism (with more hypoglycaemia and glycaemic variability) and altered metabolomics during pregnancy after bariatric surgery contribute to the increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes such as small-for-gestational age infants. In addition, the investigators also aim to evaluate whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be used to diagnose gestational diabetes (GDM).
