Summary

The aim of the project is to investigate the acute effect of exercise on blood glucose after food consumption. Thereby the investigators wish to achieve knowledge that can improve prevention and treatment of gestational overweight and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This will prevent serious complications during pregnancy and birth, but also long term complications like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for both the mother and the offspring.

Inclusion will be 60 pregnant women divided into three groups - normal weight, overweight and obese and women with gestational diabetes. Participants will receive a fixed diet and go through an intervention period with physical activity immediately after each main meal and a control period with inactivity after the meals. Blood glucose will be the main outcome.
