In this seminar we will cover the following topics: \n\naetiology and risk factors for gestational diabetes\ndiagnosis and clinical management\ndietary aspects to gestational diabetes\ninterventions focusing on diet and physical activity.\n\nAbout Dr Meek\nClaire Meek is a consultant metabolic physician and a new group leader at the Institute of Metabolic Science. Her research interests include gestational diabetes and obesity in pregnancy. She has recently been awarded an intermediate clinical fellowship by Diabetes UK and a future leaders’ award from the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes in association with the Novo Nordisk Foundation. \nDuring her fellowship\, she will run the DiGest study\, a randomised\, controlled\, blinded clinical trial of a dietary intervention during late pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes. The aim of the study is to identify if a reduced calorie diet can reduce gestational weight gain and improve both pregnancy outcomes and maternal postpartum glucose homeostasis.
