What is Dietary and exercise interventions and glycemic control and maternal and newborn outcomes in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes: Systematic review about?

Evaluated outcomes were fasting blood glucose levels, postprandial blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin percentages, total weight gain during pregnancy, proportion of caesarean delivery, proportion of patients needing insulin, neonatal birth weight, proportion of macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and preterm birth.
