Therapeutic Synergy of Probiotic Augmented Conventional Antidiabetic Pharmacotherapy in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Pakistan200 participantsStarted 2026-07
Plain-language summary
1. To compare the effects of metformin, insulin, and their combination with multistrain probiotics on glycemic control and insulin resistance in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), assessed by FPG, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR.
2. To compare the effects of metformin, insulin, and their combination with multistrain probiotics on inflammatory biomarkers in women with GDM.
3. To determine the effect of multistrain probiotic supplementation alongside standard therapy on maternal and neonatal outcomes, including gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery, birth weight, Apgar score, and NICU admission.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant women (18-45 years of age).
* Diagnosed with GDM between 18-26 weeks of gestation.
* Singleton pregnancy. (Multiple gestations carry inherently higher risks like preterm birth, growth restriction and neonatal morbidity, Inclusion may introduce confounding thus restricting singleton pregnancies ensures population homogeneity).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pre-existing diabetes mellitus.
* Pregnancy induced hypertension.
* Chronic gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disease.
* Use of antibiotics or probiotics within the previous 4 weeks.
* Multiple pregnancy.
* Pregnancy with known fetal anomalies.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
