Coffee, Moderate Consumption Is Associated to Reduced Risk of Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an exhibition of abnormally high blood glucose during pregnancy.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a prospective study of 1744 non-diabetic pregnant women questioned during early gestation about their coffee consumption, researchers found that according to returned report, moderate coffee intake per day exerts a significantly decreased risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in expected mothers in compared to noncoffee intake pregnant women.

Dr. Adeney KL, the lead author said, "Moderate pre-pregnancy caffeinated coffee consumption may have a protective association with GDM".

Also, in the study of first trimester coffee and tea consumption and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on-diabetic women with singleton pregnancies in the Danish National Birth Cohort (n = 71,239), researchers showed that pregnant women with coffee heavy consumption showed a substantially high percentage(81.2%) of complication of GDM, in compared to only 1.5% in non drinkers.


Importantly, the incidence of GDM of this study was highest in pregnant women who drink more than 8 cups of the coffee/day but without significant difference across intake in other levels.

With collective information from the above study, it is safe to say, moderate coffee drinking in the first trimester may have a protective effect in reduced risk of GDM but increased risk of complication in diabetic expected mothers who drank over 8 cups of coffee per day.

The examine of the protective effect of coffee in pregnancy women, researchers performed a study included 168 pregnant women aged 18-40 years, recruited at routine 20-week ultrasound with all participants kept a 4-day weighed food record following recruitment (commencement: gestational weeks 19-24), a prudent dietary pattern including moderated coffee intake accompanied with seafood; eggs; vegetables; fruits and berries; vegetable oils; nuts and seeds; pasta; breakfast cereals; and coffee, tea, and cocoa powder is associated to reduced risk of GDM in pregnancy.

The findings evidence suggested that moderated coffee consumption with less than 8 cups/day expressed a protective effect against GDM and GDM complications.
