Abstract: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses a significant global health challenge. Well-established risk factors include a body mass index (BMI) above 30, maternal age over 40, previous GDM instances, a history of delivering babies weighing over 4.5kg, and specific ethnic backgrounds. This commentary discusses the Cochrane umbrella review by Griffith, et al., (2020) evaluating various lifestyle focused interventions for GDM prevention.
