Overview

Narrative review evaluates dietary approaches for managing gestational diabetes mellitus, highlighting DASH and Mediterranean diets.

Key Points

  • The DASH diet is most effective for glycemic control in managing gestational diabetes mellitus.
  • Low glycemic index diets show potential in improving glucose levels but have conflicting results on pregnancy outcomes.
  • Plant-based diets enhance insulin sensitivity and inflammation reduction, benefiting maternal and neonatal health.
  • Further research is essential to establish standardized dietary guidelines for effective nutritional management of gestational diabetes.
