Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the link between eating ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and blood glucose control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes, as well as the risk of low blood sugar in their newborns.
- Researchers monitored pregnant women with gestational diabetes from the second trimester until after birth, analyzing their diets and glucose levels through various methods.
- The results indicated that while UPF consumption did not significantly affect maternal blood sugar levels, it was associated with an increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia, highlighting the importance of addressing diet in prenatal care.
