The Snack Study: The Feasibility of Changing Night-time Food Choices to Improve Glucose Tolerance in Pregnancy

NCT02634593 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Obesity during pregnancy increases the risk for high glucose and diabetes in the mother, and for obesity and comorbid metabolic disease in the offspring. Results of previous intervention studies designed to improve the metabolic health of obese mothers, and thereby reduce the risk to their offspring, have been modest at best. Furthermore, few studies have proved to be efficacious among low income African American women who have high risk for the transmission of obesity to future generations. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of changing the types of foods and drinks that are consumed at night during late pregnancy in order to improve maternal glucose tolerance and reduce the risk for future obesity in the child.
