Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) belongs to a particular type of diabetes mellitus. Not only are patients with GDM at a more significant risk of converting to diabetes mellitus later in life, but GDM can also have both short-term and long-term effects on the health of the mother and child, such as congenital anomalies, spontaneous abortions, macrosomia, preterm labor, excessive amniotic fluid, and many other adverse outcomes. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) interventions for patients with GDM can be extremely beneficial to the pregnancy outcomes of GDM patients and their offspring by helping them to act on their individual and clear health goals and adopt healthy behaviors. The article starts from the effect of MNT on the pregnancy outcome of GDM patients and their offspring, reviews the latest research progress on the adverse pregnancy outcome of GDM patients and their offspring, and analyzes the problems and importance of medical nutrition therapy for GDM patients with the aim of better promoting the outcome of GDM patients’ mothers and infants, and reaching the long-term effect of MNT.
