Comparison of Rice-richen and Wheaten-richen Meal on Glucose Control Among Chinese Women With Gestational Diabetes Melitus (GDM)

Research on Comparison Between Rice-richen Meal and Wheaten-richen Meal on Glucose Control Status Among Chinese Women With GDM

Since the prevalence of gestational diabetes melitus (GDM) increased by ..., as an important part of medical treatment, nutrition therapy is highly required to help patients achieve normoglycemia. Carbohydrate intake is the primary nutrient affecting postprandial glucose levels,therefore the total amount and type of carbohydrate should be manipulated to blunt postprandial hyperglycemia. However,the type of carbohydrate has not yet been established. Rice and wheaten food have similar Glycemic Index (GI),but some researches found the glucose response to them is different. A case-control study is designed to compare the glucose control status between rice-richen meal and wheaten-richen meal, and all other macronutrients and micronutrients are all calculated and same between two groups, which may provide more clues for type of carbohydrate recommendation for Chinese women with GDM.
