Summary
This study tested a nutrition checklist and educational module (M-FIGO) designed for Malaysian women with gestational diabetes. 206 pregnant women were randomly assigned to receive either the checklist plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal was to see if the tool helped control weight gain and blood sugar during pregnancy, potentially improving outcomes for both mother and baby.
