About this study

Official title: Once-Daily Versus Twice-Daily Insulin Glargine in the Management of Patients With Pregestational Diabetes Requiring Insulin

The purpose of this study is to determine if taking insulin glargine twice a day instead of once a day will better manage pregestational diabetes in pregnant patients. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a group that takes insulin glargine once a day, and a group that takes it twice. Continuous glucose monitoring will be used to track blood sugar levels. The main question the study aims to answer is: Will using insulin glargine twice a day instead of once lead to a better glucose time in range?

Being tested
Use of insulin glargine once daily, Use of insulin glargine twice daily

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Use of insulin glargine once daily and Use of insulin glargine twice daily in people with Pregestational Diabetes and Pregnancy, run by Eastern Virginia Medical School at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marwan Ma'ayeh, MD (7574467900, maayehmg@odu.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Weekly Time in Range (time frame: From Day 7 to Day 14 after study enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07224893, which also lists 11 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2026.
