Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a substantial and growing health concern. It has serious, long term consequences for both baby and mother. Early detection and intervention can greatly improve outcomes for women with this condition. Studies have revealed higher incidence of preterm labor, pre-eclampsia, nephropathy, birth trauma, caesarean section, postoperative wound complications, fetal wastage from early pregnancy loss or congenital anomalies, macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, stillbirth, growth restriction, and hypoglycaemia etc. Therefore the present study using quasi-experimentaltime series non-equivalent control group design was conducted on 110 sample subjects, 56 in experimental group and 54 in control group, in a selected hospital of Kashmir (J&K, India) to determine the effectiveness of antenatal intervention on maternal parameters of diabetic pregnant women in order to improve their outcome. The study revealed a significant difference in maternal outcome of experimental group of diabetic pregnant women as compared to control group of diabetic pregnant women
