Case scenario (Case continued)
As you will recall from Diabetes in Pregnancy, Part I: Screening and diagnosis, our case patient, Sophie Kanulie, is a 38 y/o G8P7006 diagnosed with GDM by an abnormal 3-hour GTT shortly after 24 weeks.
She is begun on a no-added sweets diet, restricting total carbohydrates to 40% of total intake. Since her body-mass index (BMI) is approximately 37 kg/M2 (see Body Mass Index Nomogram), she is overweight for height, and therefore is restricted to 25 kilocalories per kg (pre-pregnant ideal weight).
