Brief Summary: The investigators hope to learn whether treatment with medical nutrition therapy MNT for pregnant women with prediabetes decreases the rate and severity of impaired glucose tolerance later in pregnancy and improves perinatal outcomes Given the rising rates of obesity and diabetes in this country even among young women and the adverse affects of diabetes of pregnant women and their infants the investigators feel that it is important to not only identify women at high risk for diabetes early in pregnancy but determine the appropriate management strategy
Detailed Description: INTAKE VISIT A health professional performs this visit soon after the diagnosis of pregnancy Standardized glycosylated hemoglobin A1Cis drawn as part of the routine prenatal panel at the above institutions Women with an A1C of 65 are categorized as having type 2 diabetes excluded from randomization and referred for medical nutrition therapy blood glucose monitoring and insulin as needed Women with an initial A1C 57 will receive routine prenatal care by their usual providers and will be screened for gestational diabetes Mellitus GDM in the second trimester per routine Standard treatment for both these diabetic groups will be provided independently of this study but anonymous outcome data will be available via hospital perinatal databases Women with an A1c of 57-64 are eligible for the study

EARLY PRENATAL VISIT women with an A1C of 57-64 will be informed by their providers that they fall into a group labeled prediabetes outside of pregnancy and will be invited to learn about the study All prediabetic women agreeing to enroll or not will be informed about general health risks and appropriate weight gain during pregnancy Women who enroll will be queried regarding basic demographic information pre-pregnancy weight height and obstetric and family history Standardized weight blood pressure BP and body mass index BMI will be recorded Participants will be given a 1-page survey regarding their knowledge of risk factors for diabetes appropriate weight gain in pregnancy and the benefits of breastfeeding

RANDOMIZATION AND MANAGEMENT Women who enroll by 13 weeks gestation will be stratified by BMI 30 or 30 and randomized to either

1 Minimal Intervention Control Group A single visit with a randomized control trial RCT-associated dietitian or health educator to discuss general health risks good eating habits and appropriate weight gain This will be followed by routine prenatal care as determined by provider
2 Treatment Group Treatment for glucose intolerance including

Diet Regular visits with a dietitian every 2 weeks emphasizing a food and beverage plan Institute of Medicine standards of appropriate energy and no more than 45 carbohydrate limited saturated fat adequate protein mineral and vitamin intake and portion control by carbohydrate counting Food and beverage intake will be divided into 3 meals and 3 snacks and self-recorded on daily food records Recommended choices of foods and carbohydrate type will take into account personal and cultural preferences Standardized weight will be measured and charted at each visit The MNT plan will be adjusted according to maternal weight gain and ongoing glycemic levels Participants will continue the MNT plan until delivery and it will be adjusted postpartum for the needs of breastfeeding Furthermore this group will be treated with

A EXERCISE Participants will be encouraged to exercise with a minimum of brisk walking for 30 minutes each day often 10 minutes after each meal

B SELF BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING Participants will perform finger sticks four times each day fasting and 1-hour after starting breakfast lunch and dinner and self-recording of these values At study visits the accuracy of the written records will be compared to the meter memory and the glucose values will be downloaded for later analysis The One Touch Delica and UltraMini self-monitoring of blood glucose SMBG system will be used and the meter lancets and strips will be provided free of charge to the participants

C INSULIN Participants will be started on insulin therapy by standard methods if more than 25 of fasting finger sticks are greater than 99 mgdL or 1-hour post prandial finger sticks are greater than 135 mgdL over a 2-week interval

26 WEEKS GESTATION Participants in both groups will be assessed for weight gain and blood pressure and they will complete a 75-g 2-hr oral glucose tolerance test OGTT 2H GTT Those in the minimal intervention group with one or more abnormal value by ADA standards will be treated for GDM No additional intervention will be given to women in the treatment group since will already be receiving treatment In this study we have chosen to use the 2H GTT as it has been correlated with adverse perinatal outcomes as described by the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome HAPO study group

DELIVERY Recommendations for timing of delivery management of labor and route of delivery will be made by usual obstetric care providers independent of study personnel All participants will have A1C measured as an indicator of late pregnancy glycemic control Umbilical cord blood will be collected on all participants to evaluate levels of c-peptide Elevated c-peptide is a measure of fetal hyperinsulinemia and a marker of fetopathy24 Delivery and neonatal data will be collected see below Participants will be instructed to continue the diet therapy for at least 6 months postpartum

6-WEEK POSTPARTUM VISIT All participants will undergo a 2H GTT and have A1C checked Their weight will be recorded and compared to pre-pregnancy weight Breastfeeding will be assessed
