Systematic review reveals increased antenatal anxiety in women with gestational diabetes, suggesting need for targeted assessments.

This review aimed to analyze anxiety levels in pregnant women with gestational and pre-gestational diabetes.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies from various databases until April 2025.
Included 34 studies with a total of 994,189 women, focusing on GDM and pre-GDM outcomes.
Performed random-effects meta-analyses and subgroup analyses by region and measurement instruments.
Women with GDM had higher odds of antenatal anxiety compared to healthy controls (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.20–2.37).
Poole prevalence of antenatal anxiety in women with GDM was found to be 36% (95% CI: 22–50%) in Asian studies, with high heterogeneity (I2 = 98.7%).
Postpartum anxiety levels did not differ significantly between women with GDM and healthy controls (RR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.93–1.05).

Limruangrong et al. (2026) studied this question.
