Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Shelley Wilkinson (Principal investigator)

Brief description Poorly-controlled gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can have negative outcomes for mother and baby. Nutrition counselling is the first line strategy to manage GDM and can prevent the need for insulin. No Australian GDM nutrition practice guidelines (NPGs) exist, but better outcomes have been shown in America following a evidence-based schedule of dietary counselling. This project will investigate implementation of American NPGs in an Australian setting, using the latest nutrition advice.
