Dietary regulation for 'gestational diabetes'

Perinatal Complications in Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Significance of a Diagnosis Early in Pregnancy

“…Evidence to support some of these interventions is rather limited. A meta-analysis of four small studies has found that dietary regulation is associated with a reduction in incidences of birth weight Ͼ90th centile (three studies) -birth trauma (two studies) and neonatal polycythemia (one study) (21). A few studies suggest that glycemic control (treatment with diet/insulin) in GDM may reduce the risk of macrosomia (18,22,23).…”

Screening for gestational diabetes; past, present and future

“…higher rate of caesarean sections, even in appropriate‐for‐age infants [16]. Screening opponents also emphasize financial implications incurred, together with the stressful burden on the health care providers as well as pregnant women without clear evidence of subsequent benefit [17,18]. The debate will only be resolved by more research in this area, addressing the unresolved issues (see below: Screening for gestational diabetes, the future).…”

Women's experiences of being screened for gestational diabetes mellitus

“…

Debate surrounds appropriate diagnostic criteria for GDM 2,5 and the extent to which GDM is associated with perinatal morbidity. 6 Most research in this area has focused on pregnancy outcomes associated with GDM. The few studies that have investigated women's opinions and experiences of being screened for GDM have produced conflicting results.
