A Low-Intensity Nutrition Intervention Targeting Triglycerides in Gestational Diabetes: A Feasibility RCT
Authors' conclusion
There was a modest recruitment rate and a high retention rate, indicating a diet aimed at attenuating triglycerides is feasible and highly acceptable in women with GDM. The positive improvements observed in maternal diet and desirable birth weight warrant further investigation in a larger, definitive, randomized controlled trial.
