Determining the Effect of Food Ordering on Blood Glucose In Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (DEFI-GDM)

Participants who are randomised to eat the protein/fat-based component (scrambled egg) of the meal before the carbohydrate-based component (wholemeal toast) on their first study visit, will be asked to eat the meal in the reverse order at their second study visit. Meals will be prepared by members of the research team who have completed Food Safety training. Participants will be asked to consume a 440kcal breakfast meal within 10 minutes, approximately 1.5 hours after arrival at their first study visit and approximately 30 minutes after arrival at their second study visit.
