  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Diabetes management traditionally includes exercise for nonpregnant individuals.
  • Pregnancy is a diabetogenic state, with up to 12% of women developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
  • Gestational diabetes mellitus is characterized by carbohydrate intolerance and insulin resistance during pregnancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of exercise's role in managing gestational diabetes mellitus.
  • To highlight exercise as a recently adopted adjunctive therapy for pregnant individuals with GDM.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on exercise and GDM.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on the physiological effects of exercise during pregnancy.
