ACHOIS: Carbohydrate Intolerance Study in Pregnancy

This trial has completed recruitment. Follow up is continuing.

We designed the Australian Carbohydrate Intolerance Study in Pregnant Women (ACHOIS) trial to assess whether the treatment of gestational diabetes would reduce perinatal complications and to assess the effects of treatment on maternal outcome, mood, and quality of life.
