Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Energy Restriction, Weight Loss, Glycemia, and Breastfeeding Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes: A DiGest Trial Secondary Analysis
Authors' conclusion
Improved late pregnancy glycemia and decreased glucose variability, but not weight loss or energy restriction, were associated with breastfeeding after gestational diabetes.
Study context
- Population
- Pregnant women with GDM in the DiGest RCT304 with breastfeeding data
- Participants
- 425 women
- Comparison
- Reduced-energy vs standard-energy diet box from 29 weeks until delivery
- Primary endpoint
- Breastfeeding outcomes
Methodological detailsmasked CGM

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
- Energy restriction in late pregnancy did not affect breastfeeding outcomes
- ≥90% TIR (3.5-6.7 mmol/L; 63-120 mg/dL) with low glycemic variability (CV and SD), but not weight loss, associated with any breastfeeding at 3 months postnatally
