Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Diet on Postprandial Glucose and Pregnancy Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an elevated risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Dietary management is a cornerstone of GDM treatment due to its beneficial effects on metabolic control. However, suboptimal adherence to dietary recommendations has diminished its potential benefits in achieving optimal glycemic outcomes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based interventions have emerged as a promising approach to enhance dietary compliance and glycemic control in patients with GDM.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the effects of a CBT-based digital dietary intervention on glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes in patients with GDM.

Methods

The intervention group received standard care plus a digital dietary interven
