The purpose of the study is to see if a low glycemic index diet will reduce blood sugar levels in pregnant women with high blood sugar levels.
Women with gestational hyperglycemia, including women with gestational diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance of pregnancy, consuming a low glycemic index (GI) diet will experience better blood glucose control thereby decreasing the risk associated complication(s).
