Dietary advice in pregnancy for preventing gestational diabetes mellitus

Temporal Trends in Maternal Food Intake Frequencies and Associations with Gestational Diabetes: The Cambridge Baby Growth Study

“…Hence women diagnosed with GDM may have drunk more tap water in preference to less healthy beverages such as alcoholic drinks, in the overall context of a positive temporal trend for the frequency of tap water consumption, and negative temporal trends for beer, wine and spirits. An alternative explanation for the positive association between the frequency of tap water consumption and GDM is that polydipsia in women with poorly controlled GDM [36] could have caused them to drink tap water more often.…”

Protocol for a randomized controlled trial of pre-pregnancy lifestyle intervention to reduce recurrence of gestational diabetes: Gestational Diabetes Prevention/Prevención de la Diabetes Gestacional

“…174,175 To date, efforts to prevent GDM have focused primarily on interventions occurring during pregnancy, and these have met with limited success. 54,[60][61][62][63][64][65] Promising, preliminary research from epidemiologic and retrospective bariatric surgery studies suggest that reductions in body weight before pregnancy may hold the key to prevention of GDM and its recurrence. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Emergent research suggests that it is feasible to recruit women before pregnancy and promote signi cant weight loss prior to conception.…”

Primary Prevention of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Large-for-Gestational-Age Newborns by Lifestyle Counseling: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Physical activity is, however, known to have acute effects on blood glucose and insulin sensitivity during a GDM pregnancy [30] , which may further lead to favorable effects on newborns' birthweight. Small studies with instructed exercise training and dietary advice have shown favorable trends on reducing excessive weight gain, GDM, and macrosomia, but only three trials using dietary advice in GDM prevention have been published [31] . In these trials, low-glycemic diet was related to an average of 446 g lighter babies, but the evidence is still inconclusive due to small sample sizes and diverse outcomes in the trials [31] .…”

In our study, the changes observed in dietary outcomes especially by 36–37 wk gestation may at least partly explain the between-group difference observed in birthweight of the newborns.…”
