Abstract:
Overweight/obesity is an important risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Overweight/obesity and GDM can affect maternal and infants to varying degrees. Reducing the incidence of GDM in overweight/obese people by early intervention is imminent. Current researches on interventions mainly focus on exercise and diet, remote interventions with electronic devices, nutritional supplements, medications, and weight loss surgery. Exercise and diet interventions are the most significant means to reduce the incidence of GDM, and their effectiveness can be affected by the timing, duration, and intervention methods. Maternal compliance is also an essential influencing factor. The efficacy of remote interventions by electronic devices, various nutritional supplements, and drug interventions remains controversial. Weight loss surgery may offer potential benefits but may have some implications on maternal nutritional status and fetal growth and development. Pre-pregnancy weight loss and prevention of excessive weight gain during pregnancy are key initiatives to reduce the incidence of GDM.
