About this study

Women in puerperium with known T2DM or GDM diagnosed at the hospital were invited to participate in the study. Gestational diabetes was diagnosed with a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Weight (kg) and height (m) were measured using a mechanical column scale (SECA).

The specific dimensions of eating behavior were measured through the 18-item Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-18 (TFEQ-18).

The Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) was offered every 2-4 weeks. This therapy consists of providing a food plan with the following recommendations: limiting carbohydrate intake to 35-45% of total calories calculated as 30 kcal/kg based on pregestational BMI for an ideal weight .

We evaluated the effect of MNT on GWG using a multiple linear regression model

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Gestational Weight Gain (GWG).

    Time frame: 9 months

    GWG was calculated by subtracting the prepregnancy weight from the weight at the end of third trimester (kg).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Eating behavior

    Time frame: 9 months

    The specific dimensions of eating behavior were measured through the 18-item Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-18.
