Gestational Diabetes and Sleep-Disordered Breathing

July 13, 2016 updated by: Christiana Care Health Services

A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Association Between Gestational Diabetes, Heart Rate Variability and Sleep-Disordered Breathing

This study is designed to evaluate the amount of heart rate variability (HRV) for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to determine whether women with GDM have transient sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) during pregnancy.
