Pre-meal Consumption of Whey in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus From Diagnosis to Delivery 48 At-Home

Completed
Clinical Trial NCT04856800 was an interventional study for Gestational Diabetes that is now completed. The study started on 1 December 2021, with plans to enroll 48 participants. Led by University of Aarhus, the expected completion date was 31 October 2023. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 12 December 2023.
Brief Summary
The main objective of the study is to investigate the metabolic effects of whey protein (whey protein isolate, WPI, (Lacprodan® ISO.Water. from Arla Foods Ingredients) compared with placebo when consumed by women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) from diagnosis (around gestational week 28) to delivery. Any changes in substrate metabolism and energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry will also be investigat...Show More
