Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the impact of the carbohydrate counting method (CCM) on blood sugar control and pregnancy outcomes among women with pregestational diabetes.
  • In a nonrandomized controlled trial involving 89 pregnant women, those using CCM showed better results in reducing fasting and postprandial blood glucose compared to those using the traditional method (TM), particularly in the second and third trimesters.
  • Despite both methods helping to improve postprandial blood glucose levels, no significant differences were found in maternal or perinatal outcomes, though cesarean deliveries were common and linked to hypertensive disorders.
