NCT01342874

Brief Summary

Objective: Insulin resistance during normal pregnancy and in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are unknown. New criteria are based on fasting glucose levels since the beginning of pregnancy. Inositol, a putative second messenger of insulin, correlates with the degree of insulin resistance. Dietary supplementation of inositol improves insulin resistance in patients with GDM.
