Summary

This trial tests whether eating almonds as an evening snack improves overnight blood sugar in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. About 156 women will either eat 43 grams of whole almonds daily or a nut-free snack for 28 days. Researchers will measure blood sugar levels overnight and during the day to see if almonds make a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
almonds eaten as an evening snack
What this could lead to
If almonds help, this could offer a simple dietary way to improve overnight blood sugar for pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small dietary study, and snack changes may not be enough to control blood sugar. Results may not apply to all pregnant women or replace standard care.
