Vitamin D Supplementation for the Prevention of GDM

A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study of Vitamin D Supplementation in Pregnant Women for the Prevention of Gestational Diabetes

This study was a double-blind multicenter randomized controlled study.

This study intends to adopt a randomized controlled study design, and randomly divide pregnant women at high risk of GDM into intervention group (VitD3:1600 IU/ day) (n=800) and control group (placebo:2 tablets/day) (n=800) until the end of delivery. The risk of GDM in pregnant women of the two groups was compared, the preventive effect of high-dose VitD supplementation during pregnancy on different subtypes of GDM was determined, and the effects of VitD supplementation on VitD nutritional status during pregnancy and birth outcome and health of offspring were explored, so as to provide evidence-based basis for rational VitD supplementation during pregnancy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant women who are 8 to 14 weeks pregnant ; ② 18 to 45 years old; ③ Pregnant women at high risk of GDM (meeting any of the following conditions) : A) BMI ≥24 kg/m2 before or during pregnancy; B) family history of diabetes or GDM; C) Previous pregnancy diagnosed as GDM; D) with a history of macrosomia (≥4000 g); E) A history of abnormal glucose tolerance: 5.7-6.4% hBA1c or 6.1-7.0 mmol/L fasting blood glucose.
