- Postpartum dietary interventions improve cardiometabolic profiles in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- Key improvements include reductions in BMI, waist circumference, weight, HOMA-IR, and HbA1c.
- No significant improvements were found for other markers like blood pressure, lipids, or inflammatory biomarkers.
- Interventions were counseling-based, with follow-up periods ranging from 12 weeks to 3 years.
- Study limitations include heterogeneity across trials and variable adherence to interventions.
- The postpartum period is identified as a critical window for optimizing cardiometabolic health in this population.
