Summary
This study tested whether adding a smartphone app with short videos on mental health, diet, exercise, and insulin adjustment to standard care could improve blood sugar control and birth weight in pregnant women with diabetes. Over 600 women participated. The goal was to see if this easy-to-use tool leads to healthier babies.
