Abstract
Pregnancy-induced diabetes mellitus, commonly
known as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), affects approximately 7-14% of
pregnancies globally and is associated with increased risks of maternal and
fetal complications. This review provides an overview of therapeutic
interventions for controlling GDM, emphasizing lifestyle modifications,
pharmacological treatments, and precision approaches. Lifestyle interventions,
including diet and exercise, serve as first-line therapy, effectively managing
glycemia in 70-85% of cases. Pharmacological options, primarily insulin and
metformin, are used when lifestyle measures are insufficient. Emerging
precision strategies tailor interventions based on individual markers like BMI
and glucose levels. Evidence from systematic reviews and guidelines supports
these approaches in reducing adverse outcomes, though long-term postpartum
adherence remains a challenge. Future directions include integrated models for
sustained management and further research on personalized therapies.
