Time-restricted Eating and High-intensity Interval Training After Gestational Diabetes (TRE-HIIT Moms)
Time-restricted Eating and High-intensity Interval Training After Gestational Diabetes (TRE-HIIT Moms)
This trial will recruit participants who had gestational diabetes in their most previous pregnancy. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: one intervention group and one control group 6-12 weeks after giving birth. The intervention group will undergo an 8-week supervised intervention consisting of time-restricted eating and endurance exercise training with moderate-to-high intensity. The investigators will assess cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and other markers of cardiovascular and metabolic health before and after the 8 weeks. Additionally, the participants in the intervention group will be encouraged to continue exercising and eating time restricted after the supervised period and follow them up by telephone until one year from the baseline visit. The investigators will measure the same outcomes at the follow-up as on the previous two test points.

TREHIIT Moms is a randomised, controlled trial with two parallel groups. To be eligible for the trial, the participants need to have had gestational diabetes in their most previous pregnancy and be 6-12 weeks postpartum at inclusion. Participants will be randomly allocated to intervention or control (1:1). The intervention consist of time-restricted eating and endurance exercise. Time-restricted eating implies restricting energy intake to a maximum 10-hour time window daily. The exercise training will be supervised and consist of 2-4 weekly sessions of moderate-to-high intensity exercise. After the supervised period, the participants will continue high-intensity exercise and time-restricted eating at home, with follow-up from the researchers until 1 year from baseline.
The investigators will assess cardiometabolic health outcomes and psychological well-being at baseline, after 8 weeks, and 1 year. Human milk samples will be collected at baseline and 8 weeks and stored for future exploratory analyses of milk composition. The specific analytes and analytical methods will be determined in subsequent exploratory studies and are not prespecified trial outcomes
