Conditions
Summary
This feasibility pilot study aims to gather data that can guide the design of a larger, more comprehensive trial to establish the effects of myo-inositol supplementation on supporting healthy outcomes in pregnancies complicated by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). It seeks to assess myo-inositol's potential to support fetal and neonatal health, and optimise maternity outcomes as a complementary approach and adjuvant to existing diabetes mellitus therapies, as well as investigate the underlying biological mechanisms.
