50 participantsStarted 2015-01

Plain-language summary

The purpose of the proposed study is to assess the distribution of carbohydrates and fat in the diet of women with type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. More specifically, it will look at the distribution of carbohydrate in the diet during weeks 29-32 of pregnancy. The carbohydrate distribution and fat content of the meal will be compared to maternal glucose control, preprandial glucose levels, and the percentile for weight of the infant at birth. In addition, each meal and snack will be classified as low-moderate fat or high fat.
