Bump to Baby Study
The overall purpose of this intervention study is to examine whether low-carbohydrate dietary
intervention will prevent the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk
pregnant women. The results of this study should help further our understanding of how
pregnant women can help prevent gestational diabetes mellitus. We hypothesize that a lower
carbohydrate diet will prevent the development of GDM.
