Assessing the effect of carbohydrate intake in overweight and obese pregnant women and in women with gestational diabetes

妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）妇女比一般人群有更多的不良妊娠结局。这些不良后果与血糖水平有关。考虑到碳水化合物被人体代谢为葡萄糖，低碳水化合物饮食将改善这些女性的葡萄糖水平是合理的。本研究的目的是评估GDM妇女的碳水化合物摄入量、血糖水平和妊娠结局之间的关系。

Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) have more adverse pregnancy outcomes than the general population. These adverse outcomes are related to glucose levels. Given that carbohydrate is metabolised to glucose by the body, it is plausible that a lower carbohydrate diet will lead to improved glucose levels in these women. The aim of this research is to evaluate the relationship between carbohydrate intake, glucose levels and pregnancy outcomes in women with GDM.
