Summary

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of varying severity with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is important, because of the increased risk of adverse maternal and feto-neonatal outcomes. In addition, GDM also confers a future risk of type 2 diabetes to mothers and their fetus. Dietary components associated with GDM risk include macronutrients, micronutrients, and individual foods, such as refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, soft drinks and processed meats. The Pre-pregnancy dietary patterns may affect women risk of developing GDM. A diet high in red and processed meat was associated with a significantly elevated risk.
