Summary
- The diagnosis of GDM or 1 abnormal value on a 3-hour 100 g OGTT requires the patient to see a Registered Dietitian (RD) for Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT).
- Preprinted meal plans are inadequate for long-term management, but can be used in the interval between diagnosis and the patient’s appointment with the RD for MNT.
- Some patients will require follow-up nutrition counseling visits. Adjustments may be needed during pregnancy based on clinical factors such as weight loss, hunger, abnormal fetal growth, and ketonuria.
- The nutrition consultation should include an individual nutrition assessment based on the patient’s culture, food preferences, lifestyle, and home glucose monitoring results.
