In brief

The purpose of this clinical study is to collect baseline information on dietary habits and metabolic risk factors, and to examine the effects of a dietary intervention focusing on fiber and antioxidant rich berries on the development of gestational diabetes, maternal glucose and lipid control and inflammation in obese pregnant women at risk of developing diabetes.
