Effect of Conventional vs Intensive Management on Gestational Diabetes and Maternal Fetal Outcomes

This study involved two management protocols to manage diabetes in pregnancy. Sixty patients having GDM will be recruited on the basis of the OGTT and randomly allocated to two management groups. One group of patients will receive counselling and the conventional method of management. while the other group will receive a tailored diet plan and physical activity with low caloric and moderate intense exercises. Both groups will receive a dietary plan based on their sugar levels weekly basis and physical activity with pharmacotherapy to adjust their sugar levels, while the intensive group will have rigorous monitoring on a monthly basis and frequent visits with repeated lab checks. This will help us to reduce short and long-term complications with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.
