A retrospective cohort 1,951 pregnant women in Seremban district, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. GDM was defined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥5.6 mmol/l and/or 2-hour postprandial (2hPPG) ≥7.8 mmol/l. higher percentage with had 2 factors (29.0%) or >2 (8.6%) compared non-GDM (2 factors: 25.5%; 5.0%).

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) increases risks for type 2 diabetes and weight management is recommended to reduce the risk. Conventional dietary recommendations (energy-restricted, low fat) have limited success in women with previous GDM. The effect of lowering Glycaemic Index (GI) managing glycaemic variables body post-GDM unknown.To evaluate effects conventional administered without additional low-GI education, glucose tolerance Asian GDM.Seventy seven Asian, non-diabetic GDM, between...

Nutrition Therapy (NT) is essential in type 2 diabetes (T2D) management. Standards of care recommend that each patient engages with a nutritionist (RDN) to develop an individualized eating plan. However, it unclear if the most efficient method NT. This study evaluates effects three different methods NT on HbA1c and cardiovascular disease risk factors overweight obese patients T2D. We randomized 108 T2D (46 M/62F; age 60 ± 10 years; 8.07 1.05%; weight 101.4 21.1 kg BMI 35.2 7.7 kg/m2) into...

Abstract Minimally refined brown sugar (MRBS) is a derived from sugarcane that has low glycemic index. This study aimed to determine and compare the antioxidant contents nutritional physicochemical properties of MRBS, (RS), (BS). In addition, toxicity these sugars was evaluated via in vitro cytotoxicity method by using zebrafish model. Results showed MRBS better than two other because it lower moisture content higher ash content. The potassium manganese were those sugars. Surprisingly, also...

Reducing postprandial (PP) hyperglycemia and PP glucose excursions is important for overall glycemic management. Although most therapeutic lifestyle interventions that reduce caloric intake would affect this, there no particular nutritional intervention favored. We evaluated the effects of a novel natural food adjuvant combining mulberry leaf extract (MLE) with other bioactive ingredients, in people type 2 diabetes (T2D) originating from Asia, on improving glucometabolic response randomized...
