The Effect of Standardized Nutritional Care Combined with Exercise Intervention in Patients with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Its Effect on FPG, 2hPG, and HbA1c Levels

Objective: To study the application effect of standardized nutritional care combined with exercise intervention in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and the effect on fasting blood glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Methods: Ninety cases of gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosed between June 2022 and June 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 45 cases each. The control group received conventional intervention, while the observation group received combined standardized nutritional care and exercise intervention. Blood glucose levels, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and adverse neonatal outcomes were compared. Results: On the day before delivery, the FPG, 2hPG, and HbA1c levels of patients in the observation group were lower than those of patients in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (4.44%) and adverse neonatal outcomes (2.22%) in the observation group was lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The blood glucose levels of gestational diabetes mellitus patients can be controlled through standardized nutritional care and exercise interventions, leading to improved pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.
