The attitudes of women with a new diagnosis of gestational diabetes to the required lifestyle changes ucddublin diabetes gestationaldiabetes lifestyle diet exercise pregnancy
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Jan 9 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. Pregnant women often experience glucose intolerance of varying severity, which is referred to as gestational diabetes . Several studies have indicated the adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with GDM. For instance, mothers with GDM are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and the newborn of being obese or experiencing the metabolic syndrome.
Most researchers have focussed on how women react to the diagnosis of GDM. These studies also analyzed the mood and quality of life after the diagnosis. A recent The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine study evaluated the attitudes of women newly diagnosed with GDM towards the required lifestyle changes, particularly regarding diet and exercise.
A total of thirty-two women participated in the study, among which eighteen were interviewed during pregnancy and fourteen in the postnatal ward in the days following birth.
