Summary

This study looks at two different diets for overweight pregnant women who have gestational diabetes. One diet is moderately low in carbs, the other is high in plant-based protein with healthy Nordic foods. The goal is to see which diet helps control blood sugar better and leads to healthier body composition in newborns. 42 women participated, and they followed the diets during pregnancy with support from nutritionists.
