Abstract

Objective: To analyze the clinical effect of nutritional diet therapy on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: One hundred pregnant women with GDM who were admitted to Ji'nan Central Hospital were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into an observation group (received individualized nutrition nursing, n=50) and a control group (received routine nursing, n=50).

Results: The total incidence of postpartum complications in the control group was 28.00%, which was significantly higher than 8.00% in the observation group (χ2=4.500, P=0.034). After nursing, the amniotic fluid index in the observation group increased significantly as compared with the control group (P<0.001). The nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (t=14.324, P<0.001). The health condition of newborns in the observation group was better than that in the control group (χ2=4.762, P=0.029). After intervention, the level of blood glucose of women in the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Nutritional diet therapy for pregnant women with GDM can help to reduce complications, control blood sugar, and improve the neonatal outcome. It is also conducive to the postpartum rehabilitation of pregnant women. It is worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Keywords: Nutritional diet therapy; clinical effect; gestational diabetes mellitus.
