Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

This study involved two management protocols to manage diabetes in pregnancy. Sixty patients having GDM will be recruited on the basis of the OGTT and randomly allocated to two management groups. One group of patients will receive counselling and the conventional method of management. while the other group will receive a tailored diet plan and physical activity with low caloric and moderate intense exercises. Both groups will receive a dietary plan based on their sugar levels weekly basis and physical activity with pharmacotherapy to adjust their sugar levels, while the intensive group will have rigorous monitoring on a monthly basis and frequent visits with repeated lab checks. This will help us to reduce short and long-term complications with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.

A vizsgálat 2 csoportja

• Conventional Management GroupMár használt kezelés, összehasonlításként

  This group receives standard care for conventional management of GDM identified via survey in government and private sectors. This includes monthly follow-up visits with basic lifestyle modification and counselling on dietary and physical acitivity assessed via questionnaires (PDAQ and PPAQ). Medication (insulin or oral agents like metformin) is only introduced if glycemic targets are not achieved through lifestyle modifications alone. Blood glucose monitoring is performed at a standard frequency (e.g., pre- and post-meal).

  Kezelés: Usual care

• Intensive Management GroupA vizsgált kezelés

  This group receives a standardized, intensive multidisciplinary intervention. It includes weekly telephonic monitoring, personalized low-carbohydrate/calorie diet plans, and structured moderate and intense exercise based on their activty level. Pharmacotherapy (insulin, metformin, etc.) is initiated proactively if glucose levels are not controlled within two weeks. Enhanced fetal monitoring via frequent ultrasounds is also included to assess growth and amniotic fluid. This management involves frequent antenatal visits with pre- and post-sugar monitoring for dietary and physical therapy. Secondly, rigorous monitoring will be done using Ultrasound and repeated lab tests via a dietary and physical monthly recall questionnaire.
