Supplements for Gestational Diabetes

What the Research Shows

Research into supplements for gestational diabetes shows varying levels of effectiveness. Currently, myo-inositol has moderate evidence suggesting it may help prevent the onset of gestational diabetes, with a particular benefit noted for women who are overweight. Other options, such as probiotics, have been studied in recent meta-analyses to determine if they can prevent the condition. However, the evidence for probiotics remains insufficient and inconclusive at this time. As with any supplement during pregnancy, it is important to consult a healthcare provider to ensure safety and avoid potential interactions.
