Moderate carbohydrate diet for pregnant women with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating a moderate amount of carbohydrates (carbs) can help control blood sugar and improve pregnancy outcomes in women with diabetes who use insulin. If you are pregnant with one baby and use insulin for diabetes, this trial may help you find a balanced diet approach.
