A Novel Diet Approach to Combat Gestational Diabetes
There is an urgent need to implement novel diet approaches to combat the increasing rates of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The primary aim of this study is to establish the feasibility of time-restricted eating in pregnancy, to prepare for future larger controlled trials in this research project to determine the efficacy of time-restricted eating in women at risk of GDM. Expectations:
- Women who have an increased risk of GDM will be able to adhere to time reduced eating during pregnancy.
- Time reduced eating will improve short-term glycemic control in pregnancy.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Time restricted eating (TRE)
prolonging the duration of fasting between the last evening meal and the first meal of the next day
|
Participants will attend a face-to-face meeting with the researchers at the last day of the first week of data collection (habitual diet and physical activity period) where they will be counselled to consume all food and fluid within a 8-10 h time window of their choice starting no later than 09.00 h for five weeks.
During the intervention period, they will be counselled by weekly phone calls to provide encouragement, support and monitoring to improve adherence to the TRE window.
|
No Intervention: control
Standard care.
Will receive a booklet about physical activity recommendations and healthy eating in pregnancy

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in average time-window for energy intake
Time Frame: Change between baseline (pre-intervention) time-window for energy intake to average time-window for energy intake during the 5-week intervention period
|
Average daily time-window for energy intake will be registered through log books.
|
Change between baseline (pre-intervention) time-window for energy intake to average time-window for energy intake during the 5-week intervention period
|
Weekly adherence rates for time restricted eating (TRE)
Time Frame: Weekly measures throughout the 5 week period of TRE intervention
|
The number of days per week that the participants are able to adhere to TRE, as calculated as weekly average of days with a time-window ≤ 10 hours
|
Weekly measures throughout the 5 week period of TRE intervention
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Perceived barriers to the protocol assessed with an unstructured interview
Time Frame: Weekly phone calls to participants in TRE group during the 5-week intervention period and after 6 weeks
|
Participants will be asked about which barriers they perceived as challenging regarding keeping to a TRE schedule and if they have strategies to overcome these barriers.
|
Weekly phone calls to participants in TRE group during the 5-week intervention period and after 6 weeks
|
Subjective appetite sensations assessed by Visual Analogue Scales
Time Frame: Once weekly throughout 6 weeks, on a weekday.
|
Paper line scales 100 mm on scales for Hunger ("How hungry are you": From "Not at all" = 0 on the scale to "Extremely.
As hungry as I have ever felt" =100 on the scale, Fullness (From "Not at all" = 0 on the scale to "Extremely.
As full as I have ever felt" = 100 on the scale, Satiety ("How satiated are you" From "Not at all" =0 on the scale to "Extremely" =100 on the scale, Desire to eat ("How strong is your desire to eat" From "Very weak.
Extremely low" = 0 on the scale to "Very strong.
Extremely high" = 100 on the scale and Prospective consumption (quantity) ("How much do you think you could (or would want to) eat right now?" From "Nothing at all" = 0 on the scale to "A very large amount" = 100 on the scale.
Scales will be filled in in the morning, before dinner and at bedtime.
