Effects of a low–glycemic index diet during pregnancy on offspring growth, body composition, and vascular health: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Background: Elevated maternal blood glucose concentrations may contribute to macrosomia, adiposity, and poorer vascular health in the offspring. Objective: The aim was to explore the effect of a low–glycemic index (low-GI) diet during pregnancy on offspring growth, adiposity, and arterial wall thickness during infancy. Design: This was a longitudinal follow-up study in a self-selected subgroup of mother-infant pairs (n = 59) participating in a...
