EFFECTIVENESS OF A LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX DIET IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GESTATIONAL DIABETES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF STUDIES

Main Article Content

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of a low glycemic index (GI) diet in controlling blood glucose levels and obstetric complications in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Subjects and Methods: This review synthesizes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and analyses from 2012 to 2023, focusing on pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or those at high risk. The method compares a low glycemic index (GI) diet to a standard diet, tracking indicators such as blood glucose levels, insulin use, preterm birth rates, and macrosomia. Results: This diet helps reduce insulin use by 20-35% and lowers HbA1c levels by 0.5-1%. Additionally, it effectively controls maternal weight gain, reduces the risk of macrosomia from 10% to 5%, and decreases the rate of preterm birth from 12% to 7%. Conclusion: A low glycemic index diet is an effective strategy for managing gestational diabetes, improving blood glucose control, and reducing obstetric complications.
