Clinical Trial Summary

Our trial aims to assess the effect of nutraceutical supplements (omega-3 fatty acids, anthocyanins and alpha-cyclodextrins) in patients affected by gestational diabetes.

Pregnant women with gestational diabetes at 24-28 weeks of gestation are enrolled in a double-blind trial and randomized to receive either nutraceutical supplements or a placebo for 12 weeks.

Description:

Randomized, Double-blind trial Aims: evaluation of the metabolic effect on patients affected by gestational diabetes of anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant nutraceutical supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, anthocyanins and alpha-cyclodextrins for 12 weeks associated with appropriate nutritional coaching versus nutritional coaching and placebo.

All women receive a personalized diet by a nutrition expert educator and should monitor capillary blood glucose levels. Patients receive twice-weekly antenatal testing, including ultrasonography for fetal growth and well-being maternal weight body fat mass distribution evaluation using skinfold caliper, dietary counselling. Blood and urine samples are drawn from all patients at recruitment and at the last study visit.
