Clinical Interests/Research Interests
Dr. Feghali is interested in diabetes in pregnancy including exploring heterogeneity of gestational diabetes and understanding how differences in disease mechanism impacts treatment response and pregnancy outcomes. Her previous work has explored differences in pregnancy outcomes in women with diabetes including timing of delivery, timing of diagnosis, impact of obesity and failure of medical nutritional therapy. Her current focuses on patient and provider perspectives on diabetes treatment in pregnancy and evaluation of innovative treatment strategies.
