| Abstract | The association between diet or physical activity (PA) and insulin sensitivity (IS), as well as β-cell function (BCF), has not been adequately examined. The purpose of the study is to cross-sectionally investigate this association in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Demographics, diet and PA data were collected using questionnaires; glucose metabolic measures (GMM) by OGTT and IVGTT. Among the 127 Hispanic women included in this report, we observed statistically significant differences in BMI and GMM between the 102 GDM patients and 25 controls; however, no differences were found in diet/PA. Diets high in carbohydrate, zinc, calcium and vitamin D seemed to be correlated with improved glucose control, IS and BCF. In addition, these beneficial effects were seen for exercise alone. These results highlight the importance of exercise in improving IS and BCF in women with a history of GDM to prevent the development of T2DM. |
