Gestational diabetes (GDM) is hyperglycemia that is recognized for the first time during pregnancy. GDM is associated with a wide range of short‐ and long‐term adverse health consequences for both mother and offspring. Historically, insulin has been the therapeutic agent of choice for controlling hyperglycemia in pregnant women. However, difficulty in medication administration with multiple daily injections, the potential for hypoglycemia, and increase in appetite and weight make this therapeutic option cumbersome for many pregnant patients. We want to present an overview of the lifestyle adjustments that can be advised in the management of GDM in this research. The diet for women with GDM should include enough macronutrients and micronutrients to promote the foetus' development while also limiting postprandial glucose excursions and encouraging normal maternal gestational weight gain. Carbohydrate consumption determines blood glucose excursions and hyperglycemic episodes. Nutritional counseling should thus concentrate on the kind, quantity, and distribution of carbohydrates in the diet.So, in this article, we tried to study the treatment of gestational diabetes without the use of insulin. We have taken 15 women for research but only 13 women properly respond. Continued research is needed to understand and develop tools to facilitate patient adherence to treatment goals, individualize interventions and improve outcomes.
