About this trial
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).
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18-45 years and with a singleton pregnancy with ultrasound-confirmed gestational age up to 11 weeks and 6 days

Participants need to speak and understand Flemish, French or English and have e-mail access.
Disqualifiers
multiple pregnancy
pregnancy ≥12 weeks
other types of bariatric surgery than RYBG or SG
known pregestational diabetes
Trial population
95 pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery (RYBG or SG) and 95 age-and BMO matched pregnant women without history of bariatric surgery
