Session Outlines and Learning Objectives

About the session

In GDM, nutritional management is as important as medication and often first line treatment, as it can help to control blood sugars, avoid excessive weight gain and ensure the baby has all the nutrients it needs for healthy growth and development.

Carbohydrate restriction remains the most common approach for nutritional management in GDM. However, it is essential to provide individualised advice supported by regular follow-up with a dietitian addressing nutrition education and healthy eating.
