Lifestyle intervention significantly reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes in young women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
The study involved 1180 young women with previous GDM, randomly assigned to either a lifestyle intervention group or a control group.
Interventions included individualized counseling on weight loss, increased physical activity, and dietary adjustments, with regular follow-ups.
Results showed a 46% reduction in diabetes incidence in the intervention group compared to the control group, based on oral glucose-tolerance tests.
The mean follow-up period was 4.5 years, with significant improvements in weight loss, physical activity, and dietary fiber intake in the intervention group.
The study concludes that healthy lifestyle management is effective in reducing diabetes risk among women with a history of GDM.
