The Families Defeating Diabetes (FDD) study: documenting women's dietary choices at 3 months post-partum after Gestational Diabetes
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Women who participated in the FDD study at 3 months postpartum had lower than recommended consumption of vegetables and fruits as well as grain products based on food intake records. These results indicate the need for focused dietary intervention to assist women with recent GDM to adopt potentially-protective healthy eating patterns in the postpartum period. Vegetables and fruits are important sources of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, as well as being low-fat choices, which may be beneficial for those women in the prevention of T2DM. Further analyses of the dietary intake records from women from all three FDD study sites, as well as diet choices over the 12 months of the study will be of interest.
