Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To compare the rate of adherence to planned blood glucose testing between newly diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnant women using the IOH application and those not using it. Subjects and Methods: This study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the IOH application in dietary management among newly diagnosed pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The study sample included 324 women, with 161 in the control group and 163 in the intervention group using the IOH application. Results: The rate of stable blood glucose control was 62.59% in the IOH group and 71.72% in the control group. This difference was also not statistically significant (p = 0.10; RR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.40–1.09). Conclusion: The development and implementation of the IOH application in the management of GDM at outpatient clinics may help improve patient satisfaction among pregnant women.
