Brief Summary:
This pilot study aims to investigate the intake of whey protein prior to carbohydrate intake as an approach to modulate postprandial glucose excursions during pregnancy.
Detailed Description:
Gestational diabetes (GDM) has transgenerational health consequences and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in both mother and child. However, there is a lack of practical nutritional concepts for the prevention and treatment of GDM. This randomized controlled pilot study investigates whether the intake of a protein drink before carbohydrate intake lowers postprandial blood glucose levels of pregnant women. Therefore, two 75g oral glucose tolerance tests are performed in 20 pregnant women in a cross-over design, whereby a whey protein solution is drunk 30 minutes before one of the oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT). If a clinically relevant effect on blood glucose levels is identified, this project can clarify whether the reduction in postprandial glycemia was caused by changes in the secretion of insulin and incretins.
