Description

Diabetes that arises in pregnancy harms mothers and babies, and diet is one of the few levers available to prevent it. Niuniu Sun and co-authors reviewed in 2024 how the EAT-Lancet reference diet, a meal pattern designed for both human and planetary health, relates to that pregnancy diabetes. They searched the literature for evidence on each food group in the diet.

The evidence they found favors whole grains, fish, soy, olive oil, nuts, and moderate fruit, and argues against red meat and sugary drinks. Findings for vegetables, eggs, poultry, and starchy roots were mixed. The authors say research is still thin and outline how stronger studies could settle the question.
