Impact of nutrition counseling on dietary improvements, glycemic control, and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with pregestational diabetes mellitus: an electronic medical charts analysis study in a tertiary medical center
Nutrition counseling enhanced fiber intake by increasing the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Repeated counseling sessions significantly improved glycemic control, although no significant changes were observed in pregnancy outcomes. These findings underscore the clinical value of integrating structured nutrition counseling into routine prenatal care and highlight the need for larger prospective studies to confirm its impact on pregnancy outcomes.
