Dietary Intervention for Gestational Diabetes Shows Broad Acceptability

Participants received two individual dietary counselling sessions with the study dietitian in addition to usual GDM care.

Standard GDM care + dietary intervention

Intervention group: In addition to usual GDM care, the intervention group received two individual dietary counselling sessions with the study dietitian (~30 min, scheduled as a face-to-face session or a telephone call for participant’s convenience).

All participants received usual GDM management which consisted of dietary carbohydrate modification, self-blood glucose monitoring, and physical activity.

Usual GDM management

Standard care group: All participants received usual GDM management which consisted of dietary carbohydrate modification, self-blood glucose monitoring, and physical activity, with follow-up appointments when required.

Each clinic visit consisted of a behavior change questionnaire, a food questionnaire, a 5-step 24-h dietary recall, and collection of a non-fasting venous blood sample.

Participants attended the research clinic at baseline and end of study for assessments including dietary recall and blood sample collection.
