NCT03607799

Brief Summary

This trial will assess the impact of a culturally tailored, personalized nutrition intervention on glycemic response to an oral glucose load (as measured by the area-under-the curve glucose) in high-risk pregnancies of South Asian women. The intervention targets two at-risk individuals: mother and infant, "breaking the cycle" of maternal gestational dysglycemia, excess infant adiposity and insulin resistance, and CVD in both mother and baby. The findings of this study will be important in guiding future evidence-based recommendations and public health policies to manage gestational glycemia in pregnant women at risk of GDM.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Glucose area-under-the-curve (glucose AUC)

    A measure of glycemic response, glucose AUC is a continuous measure of the response to a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, and is calculated by the trapezoidal method using the fasting, 1-h, and 2-h glucose.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Gestational diabetes mellitus

    3 months

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Maternal blood pressure

    3 months

  • Maternal pregnancy complications

Dietary Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

A personalized nutrition plan will be developed for each woman and will respect faith-based food choices and regional preferences. The plan will be delivered by a culturally congruent health coach, and consider baseline dietary intake, energy balance for recommended gestational weight gain, personal values and preferences, through setting 2-4 "SMART" goals. Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive text messages. Participants assigned to the intervention group will be given a Fitbit to track their steps and will receive simple text messages weekly, aimed at increasing walking. They will be given PDF resources that provide advice on healthy eating, physical activity, and other lifestyle factors during pregnancy plus additional materials adapted specifically for the South Asian community.
