Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • glycemic qualification rate

    Glycemic qualification rate was calculated by the number of BG within the control range /30\*100%. BG control range were fasting BG (fasting and before-sleep BG)\<95 mg/dL (5.3 mmol/L) and two-hour postprandial BG (post-breakfast, post-lunch, post-dinner BG)\<120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L)

    From enrollment to 42 days postpartum

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • pregnancy outcome

    delivery

Study Arms (2)

Standard Clinic Prenatal Care (Control Group)

NO INTERVENTION

pregnancy's prenatal care appointment would be changed to once every two weeks when diagnosed with GDM. Doctors generally ask GDM women record their daily diet, exercise, weight, BG and blood pressure for at least three days between two visits and give lifestyle guidance according to the records. If they fail to show diaries, doctors would ask them come back with record next week. If BG control is poor, medicine intervention would be considered.

m-health group (Intervention Group)

EXPERIMENTAL

participants were managed continuously through WeChat group chat.

Behavioral: m-health management

Interventions

Patients in intervention group received additional WeChat group management when conducted standard clinic prenatal care.
