Role of Macronutrient Diet Composition and Infant Metabolic Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
In brief
A better understanding of the optimal diet for women with gestational diabetes is fundamental to the management of this rapidly growing problem in pregnancy. Careful comparison studies of the current low- carbohydrate, higher-fat diet versus a diet higher in complex carbohydrate but lower in fat is critical in order to determine which diet results in a more favorable maternal 24-hour glucose, lipid, and inflammatory profile, all of which directly effect optimal fetal growth and may influence the future health of the offspring.
