Summary

The aim of the project is to investigate the acute effect of exercise on blood glucose after glucose consumption. Thereby we 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.

15 pregnant participants will perform two Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests (OGTT). One is followed by physical activity and the other is followed by inactivity and will serve as control. Blood glucose will be monitored continuously during the study.
