Nonpharmacological interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic overview.

ABSTRACT: This systematic overview summarizes the relevant evidence from multiple systematic reviews of the benefits of nonpharmacological interventions for preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A comprehensive search using the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE and MEDLINE via Ovid SP, and PubMed databases was completed on 18 November 2015. Any systematic reviews that evaluated randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with defined nonpharmacological interventions for preventing T2DM in women diagnosed with GDM were eligible for inclusion. The authors independently performed critical appraisals and quality assessments of the included reviews using the AMSTAR tool, and extracted data were converted to coherent values for tabular summarization
