Relationship between carbohydrate intake and oral glucose tolerance test results among pregnant women.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Evaluate the relationship between self-reported carbohydrate intake and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results in pregnancy.

Methods

We measured carbohydrate intake using 24-hour dietary recall and performed a 2-hour 75-gram OGTT in 95 pregnant women with risk factors for gestational diabetes (GDM) at a median of 26 weeks' gestation. We tested for associations between carbohydrate intake in the 24 hours preceding the OGTT and 60-minute OGTT glucose, glucose at other timepoints, and glucose area under the curve (AUC) using linear regression, with adjustment for potential confounders.

Results

We observed an inverse linear relationship between carbohydrate intake (median 237 grams [interquartile range: 196, 303]) and 60-minute OGTT glucose. For every 50 gram red
