About this study

Official title: Bump to Baby Study

The overall purpose of this intervention study is to examine whether low-carbohydrate dietary intervention will prevent the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk pregnant women. The results of this study should help further our understanding of how pregnant women can help prevent gestational diabetes mellitus. We hypothesize that a lower carbohydrate diet will prevent the development of GDM.
