About this study

Official title: Medical Nutrition Therapy Program for Pregnant Women With Diabetes: Evaluation of Two Different Dietary Strategies on Metabolic Control, Maternal and Fetal Nutritional Status and Cost Effectiveness.

No dietary strategies have been designed and proved for Mexican pregnant women with diabetes. This is a randomized clinical trial of pregnant women with pregestational type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes that were followed every two weeks until labor to assess the impact of the MNT program on metabolic control, maternal and fetal nutritional status and cost effectiveness. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three medical nutrition therapy (MNT) groups: the MNT 1 group (n=38) received usual medical treatment, counseling from a nutritionist and diabetes educator, using carbohydrate counting (40-45% of carbohydrates)with an intensive educational component; MNT2 group (n=50) had the same treatment, but included only low-moderate glycemic index foods; and NO-MNT group (n=45) received the current hospital treatment. All women will receive a glucose meter so they do self glucose monitoring (pre and postprandial) 2 times a weeks 6 times a day. Weight gain, dietary consumption and glucose concentrations will be evaluated every two weeks. Fetal outcomes (weight, length and presence of complications)will be measured at labor.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • medical nutrition therapy programOther

    the dietary guidelines were based on the Nutrition Practice guidelines for gestational diabetes developed by the American Dietetic Association. Dietary strategies were based on carbohydrate counting and/or restriction of high glycemic index foods. Even carbohydrate distribution throughout the day was emphasized.

Study groups in NCT00860613
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Experimentalwomen in this group received usual medical treatment and counseling from a nutritionist and diabetes educator. They received a specific diet using carbohydrate counting (40-45% of carbohydrates)and a moderate energy restriction. Weight gain, adequacy of diet, results of the self glucose monitoring, and ketonuria were evaluated every two weeks. They also received education on diabetes, diet and glucose monitoring.
Receives: Other: medical nutrition therapy program

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing medical nutrition therapy program in people with Gestational Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Instituto Nacional de Perinatologia Isidro Espinosa de los Reyes at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

metabolic control (time frame: every two weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2009.
