About this study

Official title: Feasibility of a Lifestyle Intervention in Early Risk Pregnancy in Preventing Deterioration in Glucose Tolerance?

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)is a major health problem

  • growing prevalence of obesity
  • the older age of pregnant women

A randomized controlled trial in 54 pregnant voluntary women at high risk for GDM.

  • feasibility of an early intervention
  • glucose tolerance at weeks 26-28
Read the detailed description
  1. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at weeks 8-12
  2. voluntary women in early pregnancy (n=96)
  3. 54 high risk mothers were randomized
  • lifestyle intervention group (n=27)
  • close follow-up (n=27)
  1. An OGTT was performed again at weeks 26-28
  • the lifestyle intervention group (n=27)
  • the close follow-up group (n=27)
  • other high-risk women of the early care group (n=42)who were not randomized
  1. An OGTT was also performed at weeks 26-28 in two neighboring municipalities
  • a standard care high-risk group(n=171)who did not undergo early intervention
  1. Primary outcomes
  • number of at risk participants developing GDM during pregnancy in the two arms
  1. Secondary outcomes
  • the effect of intervention on fetal growth
