Abstract:
The pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains unclear. Recent studies have found that a dysbiosis of gut flora could lead to metabolism and immune system disorders in human beings, resulting in GDM. The gut microbiome changes can be affected by various factors, of which diet and antibiotic exposure are the most dominant. From the perspective of the gut microbiome changes, individualized dietary guidance, evidence-based administration of antibiotics, appropriate intake of prebiotics, and probiotics supplement may help prevent and treat GDM.
